KURABY & UNDERWOOD TOWNHOUSE/APARTMENT PROPERTY REPORT WINTER 2024 Courtesy of Ela Milne & Ray White Rochedale
Brisbane continues to be one of Australia’s strongest capital city housing markets and is likely to remain so throughout the rest of 2024, with dwelling values continuing to go from strength to strength. Brisbane’s housing market skyrocketed over the last few years with 64% price growth since the onset of COVID-19 and is currently at a new peak in price. Ray White Group managing director Dan White said the south east Queensland property market had grown at a higher rate than the rest of the country over the last three years. Data from independent analytics team, Neoval, shows that houses and units in urban Australia have shown annualised compounding growth of about seven per cent and three per cent, respectively. The data shows houses and units in south east Queensland have shown growth of about 9-12 per cent or 10-11 per cent, respectively. “The last three to four years have seen a change in a relatively long standing historical trend – south east Queensland growth previously tracked with or underperformed the rest of Australia, it’s now growing at a dramatically higher rate, ” Mr White said. The outlook for the rest of the year looks set to continue. At this point, it is likely that rates will not be cut until the start of 2025 and the economy is continuing to slow. In addition, migration levels will also be lower this year compared to last. However, in contrast high construction costs will keep the cost of building a new home high which will continue to drive people to buy established homes and limit housing supply.

A great marketing campaign covers off on reach (how far the product is going) and frequency (how often a customer is reminded about that product). This coupled with presentation equates to a comprehensive approach to securing the most customers and creating a competitive environment which we all know equals premium price. Staging a property can be the difference between whether or not a customer swipes left or right. When most vetting is done via online portals, if your property isn't eye-catching, it may not make the cut when a busy house hunter is choosing where to spend their time on Saturday morning. Staging has such a huge impact on buyer behaviour. A well constructed styling package can make an old home look new, make small spaces appear bigger and are essential whenever there is an open-plan living area. No property is perfect, but they all have something you fell in love with. From a large window with spectacular views to a beautiful kitchen or cosy reading nook. A stylist can arrange rooms so that attention is drawn to those best features so that potential buyers see the property in its best light every time. Once styled (including the all important decluttering and de-personalising), the overall effect is that the property looks ready to move into. A staged home hints to a buyer that they could be living in it that afternoon. This subtle psychological cue provides encouragement to interested purchasers to take the next step. As the market adjusts, sellers need to invest more than during the recent boom to create the same competitive environment linked with premium sale prices. THE BENEFITS OF STAGING “Statistically, staged homes sell faster and for a higher price than unstaged homes.”

“Ela was professional, efficient, personable, reliable and informative. She achieved an excellent sale price and identified early any issues and remediated them herself to ensure a smooth experience and process. She has a lot of experience in her line of work and it shows; she was able to use her interpersonal skills and vast experience to identify the best approach to negotiate buyers and ensure the best possible result for the vendor.” VENDOR - KERRI “Ela was great in keeping me in the loop with the sale of my townhouse making it an easy sale. It also needed a lot of TLC involving multiple different tradesmen, which for me to organise, get quotes, book in etc would have taken a long time, meaning holding the property with no rent coming in - costing me money. But Ela had contacts to various trades that were able to complete the job very quickly, and getting me a sale before the end of the financial year.” VENDOR - RODGER “Ela sold our home to us in 2017, and she was so helpful. As it was our first home, we needed a lot of support, and Ela was always happy to help. We decided to sell our home this year and we are very happy with our choice to use Ela as our agent again as she was very supportive and efficient with everything.” VENDOR - DANIELLE “Ela is very professional. She provides frank and accurate assessment of our property. She was very thorough and pragmatic, ensuring that the best possible outcome was obtained in a reasonable time frame. We highly recommend Ela for any future property sales or purchases.” VENDOR - KEVIN A WORD FROM MY CLIENTS
