There's going to be a reasonable percentage of those sellers are going to be heading towards Harvey Bay in the next month.

And I expect our buyer inquiry is just going to continue to climb.

We experience the same at our end with our database.

So if you're an active buyer, you should unquestionably, once you've settled on the area you want to move to, speak to the lead agents in that area and get on their database so that you will be informed about properties that match what you're looking for often before they go to the open market.

And sometimes for our clients, our sellers, we can achieve what is a higher result than what we would have expected going to the open market pre-market because those buyers

prepared to pay a premium price that may not be repeated even had you gone to the open market so it's another strategy you should certainly be on an active database if you're heading to harvey bay contact our team and we'll put you on ours we are talking to scott mitchell on our friday when we come back we'll continue with this upward momentum for the start of our 2026 year

your market once the the sellers that have achieved their sales in that southeast corner have gone unconditional essentially it needs to be something catastrophic to upset that sale process so they are as good as cash they can definitely negotiate confidently just based on whatever their settlement is in in most cases that that's what we'll work towards is the subject to the settlement of that buyer's property so that allows our seller then move on simultaneously with those settlements

Yeah, look, this whole misrepresentation on guide pricing, I think it really did stem from Victoria.

Again, heavily auction-driven markets.

But we also, when we're working for our client in their best interest of achieving a great result and there's going to be potentially competition from buyers, so we will use offers from price guides.

And that allows us to suggest to any potential buyer that we're really not interested in negotiating below whatever that price point is, but we're happy to start negotiating at that price point.

And then based on the buyer's terms, our seller can make an informed decision on how they want to proceed.

And in the event of getting multiple offers, which we've had a lot of already this year, we let each party know that the only real difference is that they have to firstly acknowledge that they are in a multiple offer situation.

And on top of that, they've got to give me their

position straight up.

They can't come back if they're an underbidder, missed out unfortunately and said, oh, I would have paid an extra $5,000, $10,000, $15,000.

They've got to give me their best and final walkaway price.

It wasn't meant to be price straight up.

And then our seller will make an informed decision based on those offers as they're presented.

Yeah, look, and reflecting on that whole birthday intro,
