Real Estate Agents Central Coast

Putting your Central Coast property up for sale is only a step of the entire selling process – but it’s often the shortest.

Post-pandemic market conditions show Central Coast real estate properties are selling as quickly as 30 days! That’s way quicker than 2020’s 49-day average.

Besides, properties near business districts and metro areas sell faster than those in the outskirts and regional areas. So it also depends on your location.

If you’ve been scrolling through real estate markets in Central Coast, you’ll find that median house prices cost $1,189,953, and units cost around $652,287 (2023). Here are some helpful points that impact your property price:

• Property condition
• Advertising campaign

Our local real estate agents in Central Coast can help you sell your property at the best possible price through effective methods tailored for you. That includes renovating your property to increase market value, implementing cost-efficient advertising campaigns, and connecting with a conveyancer to streamline legal paperwork.

Our Central Coast real estate agents always get asked, ‘should I sell now’ or ‘when is the best time to put my home up for listing?’ While many agents and homeowners believe in seasonal factors, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

That’s because every home selling situation is unique, and selling time will largely depend on economic conditions and individual circumstances.

Here are common examples:

• To take advantage of strong market conditions
• You’ve had a lifestyle change and want to make a sea or tree change
• Your children have moved out, and you want to find a property that fits your newfound lifestyle needs
• Your financial situation has changed, and you need to use some money

Talk to our real estate agents across the Central Coast at (02) 9908 6099 to know the best time to sell your home.

How your property looks online or in catalogues leaves an impression on potential buyers. In fact, our clients saw offers about $80,000 higher than their initial asking price by improving their curb appeal.

About 90% of first-time and seasoned homebuyers browse properties online and would offer below the asking price if the property lacked an appealing front lawn. That means their first impression of your property lies in curb appeal. Put yourself in your buyers’ shoes and consider what you want to see in your next home.

Everyone loves a seamlessly manicured lawn and a flawless paint job. But here are other things you can add over the weekend to improve your curb appeal:

• Paint or varnish your front door
• Replace or upgrade your mailbox
• Add outdoor furniture and plants
• Improve your front lawn and outdoor lighting
• Power wash your driveway
• Don’t forget about your house number!

Selling your property is a big decision. If you’ve never sold a property before, here are some steps you should know to start selling:

• Prepare your property by resolving home maintenance issues and clearing the clutter to present your home in the best possible way.
• Choose a real estate agent near your property. You can visit our Central Coast offices at either DiJones Avoca Beach, DiJones Erina or DiJones Terrigal.
• Decide on a sales method and price. We’ll advise you on whether selling it privately or at auction is best, but you have the final say. You also get market-driven advice on what your property is currently worth so we can set a good asking price.
• Sign a formal agency agreement that covers our rights to sell your property, how long, and what fees are included. We’ll negotiate what works and what doesn’t in the agreement, and you can seek legal advice to know more about specific clauses in the contract.
• Implement a property sales campaign to drive traffic and hype to your property.
• Finally, secure your first sale through a private treaty or auction.

Further steps include settlement and discharging your mortgage. Speak with our real estate agents to know more.

Here are three common ways to sell your Central Coast real estate property:

• Selling by auction - signals to the market a date the property should sell and may sell for a higher price due to the nature of the auction environment.
• Selling by private treaty: The owner sets the price and lets their real estate agent negotiate with each interested buyer to meet that price or make an offer close to it.
• Sale by expressions of interest (EOI) - Invites buyers to submit an offer and date of purchase. The property owner then reviews all submissions after the sale period and picks the best offer. Otherwise, the property will be open for EOI sale again or under a private treaty.

By far, the biggest advantage of selling by auction is it creates a sense of competition and urgency among participating bidders. It encourages them to give the best offers and can lead to higher sale prices than what you’d get with private treaty negotiations.

Moreover, you also have control over the sale process. We’ll provide you with a detailed price guide so you can set a reserve price that you’re happy with and discuss your terms with your agent. In short, selling by auction lets you tailor the campaign to your needs and get more control over the outcome.

Wherever you are in the Central Coast Region, selling by auction is the fastest and most efficient way to sell at the best price. The auction process may take 4-6 weeks, but having a real estate agent facilitate the sale reduces the stress and uncertainty of selling a property.

With the right marketing campaign and auctioning in the right conditions, you may get more value for your property than expected. Discuss this option with your local real estate agent to get your first home auction moving.
