Quite often I am asked whether I think the property market is recovering or whether I think that the credit crunch will affect prices.  In answering these questions, we need to think about the suburb in question.  Not all suburbs across Sydney have suffered or will suffer equally from external market forces.

If you look at the following table, which shows property prices for houses in Mosman from 2002, you can see that the market has continued to rise.  The small down turn that occurred in 2004 was short lived.  If this is the suburb you are considering, be careful what you read about Sydney prices.  It does not seem to reflect this suburb.

The Sydney property market is reported in the media as being in the doldrums with loads of mortgagee sales and prices falling.  Although this may be true for Sydney as a whole, it is not true in every suburb.  In particular it is a far cry from the truth in regards to many of the inner suburbs.

With the rental vacancy rate at an all time low, the rental returns for investors is increasing.  This, combined with a rocky stock market, is fuelling a growth in the property prices in many inner suburbs.

If you are considering buying property in Sydney over the next 12 months, you would be very wise to ignore media reports and do some homework in the area you are interested in.  You may discover a very different picture.

 As a buyers agent, we are able to assist you in understanding the factors that affect location you are interested in.  For more information please contact us

When most people consider selling their home, they anguish over which real estate agent to use.  Some people really don't want to use a real estate agent. They don't want a sign out the front of their home or loads of people coming through their property.

We are receiving more and more phone calls from home owners asking if we have a buyer that would be interested in their property.  These homes are good quality homes in highly sought after locations.  The owners are happy to wait for a buyer.

As a buyers agent, we work solely for the buyer and are not in a position to be marketing these properties.  The main benefit to our clients is that we have the opportunity to consider properties that other agents are not aware of.
