February 2024: A Surge in Auction Activity Across Greater Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, and Gold Coast

February 2024 saw a big rise in auction activity. CoreLogic reports that buyer demand is keeping pace. šŸ“ˆ Clearance rates have soared above 70%, reflecting fierce competition in Greater Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, and Gold Coast. If you’re considering bidding at auctionā€”whether you’re a first home buyer, upsizing, downsizing, or just climbing onto the property ladderā€”now’s the time to get prepared. šŸ”‘

šŸ› ļø Essential Steps to Take Before Auction Bidding

Bidding at auction can feel daunting. However, with the right preparation, you can boost your chances of success. Hereā€™s what you should do before the big day: šŸ‘‡ā£

šŸ’¬ Consult with Our Mortgage Broker Partners: Understand your borrowing capacity. This helps set a realistic budget and avoid disappointment.

āœ… Get Home Loan Pre-Approval: Pre-approval is a game-changer. You can bid confidently, knowing you have the finances in place.

šŸ” Hire a Buyerā€™s Agent: A professional arranges pest and building inspections. This helps avoid any nasty surprises after you win.

šŸ’° Know the Deposit Process: Understand how to pay the deposit on auction day. This helps prevent any last-minute issues.

šŸ“ Review the Sale Contract: Have a legal expert review the contract. This ensures there are no hidden clauses that could cause problems later.

šŸ˜¬ Feeling Unsure About Auction Bidding?

But hereā€™s a confidence booster: I, Tim Allen, am undefeated when representing clients at auction. šŸ† Although winning every time isnā€™t realistic, I aim to maintain a success rate above 90%.

šŸ¤ Why We Avoid Buying Investment Properties at Auction

Auctions can be great for purchasing a home, but not for investment-grade properties. Youā€™re often paying a premium, the emotional price, which hurts your investment returns. Instead, we focus on securing investment properties through private sales. This way, you can negotiate better terms and avoid overpaying.

šŸ¤ Why Work with a Buyerā€™s Agent?

A Buyerā€™s Agent saves you time and stress during the auction process. We handle everythingā€”from securing pre-approval to conducting thorough inspections and reviewing contracts. Our goal is to ensure youā€™re fully prepared and ready to win on auction day. šŸ… Plus, weā€™re experts at spotting hidden gems in the market, so you wonā€™t miss out on great opportunities. šŸŒŸ

For a smoother, more successful auction experience, trust us to help you make informed decisions and secure the best possible outcome. šŸ”
