This is what average agents tell you in Melbourne (and why they’re wrong)

“Too late to list this year.”
“Nothing happens after November.”
“Wait until February for the real buyers.”

Sound familiar?

It’s the kind of templated advice that sees vendors miss real opportunities, and it’s usually based on fear, not fact.

Here’s the truth:
Some of our biggest off-market deals and quiet campaign results happen in late November, December, and early January. Why? Because serious buyers don’t switch off for Christmas.

They’re still looking, waiting for the right property and eager to end or start years with a result.

Of course, this all depends on market conditions, but, right now premium homes are in short supply, not because demand has dropped, but because most sellers are hesitating.

The result?
If your property is well-presented and correctly priced, you’re in a rare window with strong buyer competition and little stock to compete with.

Waiting for the perfect time usually means following the same stock-standard advice that everyone gets, and that results in you listing your home at the same time as all of your competition.

A smart strategy now means you can sell before Christmas or be first on the market in January while others are still hesitating.

Is your property primed for these conditions? Let’s chat about it – it’s not for everyone, but it could be the difference between relief and anxiety this summer.
