• EP. 1663 - The special levy discount?…
    May 19 2026

    Don’t let a special levy scare you away from the right property 👀🏡

    Most strata reports have something going on — that’s normal. Smart buyers see opportunity, negotiate well, and sometimes even get the vendor to cover the levy 💰

    Perfect strata reports don’t exist… but great opportunities do 🔑

  • EP. 1662 - THE SILENT 20% CUT TO EVERY INVESTOR'S LOAN
    May 18 2026

    🏡 Waiting to “time the market” perfectly? That could cost you more than you think.

    A lot of buyers are focused on picking the exact bottom of the market… but no one rings a bell when it happens. 🔔

    Meanwhile:
    📉 Borrowing capacities are changing
    📈 Interest rates have shifted
    💰 Negative gearing rules are impacting approvals

    If your pre-approval expires, your finances may be reassessed under completely different conditions.

    The smarter move right now? Speak to your broker, understand your position, and make informed decisions based on your long-term goals — not headlines.

  • EP. 1661 AUTO VAL YOUR PROPERTY, HEARTBREAK?
    May 18 2026

    🚨 Thinking about using an online property appraisal tool?
    Be careful what you trade for that “free estimate.” 👀

    Many platforms collect your details and sell them as leads to real estate agents — sometimes for thousands of dollars.

    That’s why our 3 Minute Appraisal is different:
    📱 Text us your address
    💬 Get a price back
    ❌ No pressure. No endless follow-ups.

    Auto valuations can be helpful, but they’re not always accurate — especially for unique homes or changing markets. The best approach? Compare the online estimate with advice from an experienced local agent.

  • EP. 1659 False, Misleading And Deceptive Conduct Now Aloud?
    May 12 2026

    🚨 “The issue isn’t investors… the issue is supply.”

    Big takeaways from the budget discussion with Mark Novak & Josh Wapshott 👇

    🏗️ Developers aren’t building because many projects simply don’t stack up anymore.
    Heavy compliance, taxes, and rising costs are killing feasibility.

    📉 “99% of development sites don’t make money.”

    🏠 Existing landlords may actually be the winners from these changes.

    💎 Prestige owner-occupier markets?
    Areas like Manly & Watsons Bay could continue to outperform as buyers prioritise lifestyle and security over multiple investments.

    🚧 Supply remains the core issue:
    • New housing isn’t being delivered fast enough
    • Immigration continues to rise
    • Investors face more uncertainty
    • Fewer people may choose to sell

    📦 One interesting angle:
    Off-the-plan properties may become even more attractive because of the remaining tax advantages.

    What do you think — will these policies help housing affordability, or make supply even tighter? 👇

  • EP. 1658 - VENDOR SAYS "WE'LL JUST WAIT"... WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
    May 11 2026

    🚨 The 3 most dangerous words in real estate?
    “We will wait.” 👀

    In today’s market, hesitation can be expensive.

    If your property has been sitting on the market for months, it doesn’t always mean it won’t sell — but it DOES mean the strategy needs to change.

    Here’s the reality right now:
    📉 Buyers are cautious
    💰 Interest rates & cost of living are biting
    🏠 Competition is increasing
    ⏳ Waiting rarely means more money

    The first week on market is GOLDEN. By weeks 3–4, campaigns can become very choppy — especially in Sydney’s current market.

    The key?
    ✔️ Listen to the market
    ✔️ Adjust strategy quickly
    ✔️ Don’t keep repeating what isn’t working

    Properties ARE still selling. Buyers ARE still buying. But smart decisions and timing matter more than ever.

    Thinking of selling or stuck on the market? Reach out — happy to help unpack your options.
