As we move into May, the chill of winter is starting to make its presence felt here in Maroochydore. It’s a time of year that brings a unique charm to our beautiful region, with crisp mornings and cozy evenings. This change in season also offers a perfect opportunity to reflect on the past months and prepare for the upcoming winter.

Property Market Update

I’m pleased to report that property transactions are continuing to perform well. Despite the cooler weather, buyer interest remains strong, and we’re seeing a healthy level of activity in the market. If you’re considering buying or selling, now is still a great time to make a move. The end of the financial year is also approaching, which means it’s an ideal moment to review your property investments and make any necessary adjustments.

The Importance of Self-Development

This month, I had the privilege of attending the AREC conference, an event that brings together some of the best minds in the real estate industry. The conference was a fantastic opportunity to learn about the latest trends, strategies, and innovations in our field. More importantly, it highlighted the critical role of self-development in achieving success.

Continuous learning and self-improvement are essential for staying ahead in the real estate game. Whether it’s through attending conferences, participating in workshops, or simply reading industry-related materials, investing in your own growth is invaluable. I came away from AREC feeling inspired and equipped with new tools to better serve my clients.

From Our Clients:

Nothing makes me happier than hearing from you, our clients. This month, I want to share a particularly touching review:

“Outstanding Real Estate Agent. I am so glad that I chose to represent this client in selling their home! Together with Bree, we form a dynamic team—always well-presented, knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely passionate about achieving exceptional results. Our professionalism first caught their eye at other homes we were marketing and auctioning, where they could see our approachability, likability, and deep understanding of the local market. In selling their home, we worked flexibly around their schedule, assisted in preparing the home for the market, organized the auctioneer of their choice, and consistently kept them updated and informed. My communication skills and robust marketing systems and processes ensured maximum interest and inquiry in their home. On the day of the auction, it seemed like the whole team from TOWN Real Estate was there to assist and support. Working with this client was a fabulous experience, and they were extremely happy with the auction day result. I highly recommend our team for selling or buying real estate.”

Looking Forward:

As we move towards the winter months, I’m excited about the plans we have in place. Whether the market cools down or heats up, we’re ready for it, and we’ll make sure you are too.

A Record-Breaking Pace

As we bid farewell to March and welcome the vibrant spirit of Autumn, TOWN’s momentum in the real estate sector not only continues but accelerates. With immense pride, we announce that, within the first quarter of 2024, we’ve transcended benchmarks by transacting over $110 million in real estate. This milestone is not just a number; it’s a narrative of trust, tenacity, and triumph that we share with our valued clients.

A Market That’s Buzzing with Activity

The real estate buzz on the Sunshine Coast is louder than ever, with one of our recent auctions becoming a testament to the soaring demand. A stunning property attracted 16 registered bidders, ultimately selling for an astounding $105,000 over the reserve. This auction was not just a sale; it was a celebration of the confidence that buyers and sellers place in the thriving coastal market—and in TOWN.

Unwavering Excellence

In the light of such remarkable successes, we’ve seen clients come forward to share their experiences, reinforcing the TOWN promise. A shining review from a client, echoes this sentiment perfectly:

“Jamie and his team were amazing in the sale of my house. Jamie was professional, driven, and honest throughout the entire sale process. The communication was on point and was made to feel very well informed and confident with all negotiations and hurdles. Extremely happy with the experience from Jamie and his team at TOWN, highly recommend. Thank you for the great result.”

This is more than feedback; it’s a story of fulfilled dreams and exceeded expectations.

A Strong Start to the Year

As we wave goodbye to the first month of 2024 and step into February, the momentum on the Sunshine Coast real estate market is not just continuing; it’s thriving. With TOWN leading the charge, we’re proud to announce a staggering $70 million in real estate transactions so far this year. This achievement is a testament to the strength and vitality of our market, and the trust you place in us to navigate this dynamic landscape.

The Market at a Glance

Despite the concerns that often accompany the start of a new year, the Sunshine Coast real estate market is showing robust health. With just over 3,200 homes currently listed for sale, inventory remains tight. This scarcity underscores the continued appeal of our coastal paradise, but it also highlights the competitive nature of our current market.

Prices are holding steady, a reassuring sign for both buyers and sellers. At open homes, we’re seeing strong attendance, reflecting undiminished interest in Sunshine Coast living. More significantly, the trend of receiving multiple offers on most properties continues, indicating that the demand for homes here outstrips the available inventory.

What This Means for You

For sellers, the market’s current dynamics are favorable. The competition among buyers can lead to better sale terms and potentially higher selling prices. If you’re considering selling, now is a propitious time to discuss your options with us at TOWN.

Buyers, while you face a competitive market, there are opportunities. Success in this environment requires readiness and swift action. Our team at TOWN is here to guide you through making compelling offers that stand out, ensuring you secure your piece of the Sunshine Coast.

Happy New Year, Sunshine Coast! As I bid farewell to 2023 and welcome the promise of 2024, I am excited to take a fresh look at our local real estate market and what the future holds. Grab your coffee, sit back, and let’s dive into the latest insights for January.

A Quick Recap of November – December 2023

November was an exciting month for us in the Sunshine Coast real estate scene. We celebrated record-breaking sales of $35 million, underscoring the enduring appeal of our beautiful coastal region. Despite a slight increase in the average days on market, the demand remained strong, with multiple offers on many properties. It’s clear that our piece of paradise continues to captivate both buyers and sellers.

A Promising Start to 2024

As we step into the new year, many are wondering what the real estate landscape will look like in 2024. Here are a few trends and factors to keep an eye on:

1. Interest Rates: With expectations of rising interest rates, some buyers may be eager to secure their dream homes before borrowing costs increase. This could maintain the demand for properties in our area.
2. Supply and Demand: We’ve been operating with a lower inventory of properties on the market, which has contributed to the competitive environment. Currently, there are only 3,000 homes for sale on the Sunshine Coast, a notably low number considering the growing community. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues or if more listings will emerge as the year progresses.
3. Migration and Community Growth: The Sunshine Coast continues to be a magnet for people seeking the ideal blend of coastal living and community. Recent statistics reveal a steady increase in migration to our region, showcasing the Sunshine Coast as one of the most desirable places to live in Australia. The growing community adds to the appeal and vitality of our area.
4. Visit Our New Office at 48-50 Duporth Avenue, Maroochydore: I am thrilled to share some exciting news!

What Should You Do in January 2024?

If you’re a prospective seller, taking advantage of the lower inventory early in the year might be a strategic move. Buyers, on the other hand, may want to act swiftly to secure favourable interest rates. As always, consulting with a knowledgeable real estate agent like myself can provide valuable guidance tailored to your specific situation.

As we embark on this new year, I want to extend my sincere wishes for a prosperous and joyful 2024. The Sunshine Coast real estate market has seen its share of ups and downs, but one thing remains constant – our appreciation for this stunning place we call home.
