Lately, at the Haus Exchange we have experienced a significant increase in the number of enquiries from interstate.
As a result, we have sold a number of properties to buyers who never actually personally inspected the property at all.
For instance, for one property located at 14 Velvetene Rd, out of the 9 registered buyers, 4 have not inspected the property, with
2 buyers from NSW,
1 from Tasmania,
as well as a buyer from regional WA .
In this quick 1 minute video I am sharing my top 3 tips on how you can generate more interest for your Perth property from interstate buyers, who would be looking at buying your property, sight unseen.

It is incredibly important in this booming market to have the right sales strategy to ensure that you sell at a premium price.
This simple, yet highly effective approach ensures that you don’t undersell your own home in a hot market.
As a result, Carl increased his sales price by a massive $47,105 from what he was willing to accept when he recently sold with The Haus Exchange.

However, that was not all as Carl also took advantage of the Haus Exchange Concierge service to prepare and stage his empty home fo sale.
This is what Carl had to say:
“Fantastic agent. Even though I never purchased a property from Rasmus he kept in touch for 4 years so when it’s my time to sell i knew he was the man.
Never had to chase from day 1, updates so frequently i knew exactly whats going on throughout the process.
Tricky property to sell, Rasmus helped navigate through all the issues.
Achieved end results far beyond the reserve. If you want a honest, professional, approachable, diligent, hardworking agent, Rasmus is the man for you. Couldn’t sing enough praises. 10 stars”
Additional challenges pop up with more interstate and overseas investors wanting to buy into the Perth market without being able to view the properties in person.
A Sydney investor was keen to take a look at this property the other day and so this video tour was created just for this investor by the Haus Exchange. We then had a Facetime meeting so the investor could make an informed decision.
Currently, we now have 3 registered bidders on this property and none of the bidders have inspected the property in person.
Instead, we have sold them all on this property by virtual means and a proven process that has generated fantastic results for our clients even before the local property boom!
Timing is everything and in the past 3 months my clients have experienced great results selling their properties for up to $50,000 more than expected. With the reserve already met, tune in and watch how much above reserve Alex and Miranda will sell their home for.

Have you ever wondered why some properties sell for a great price really quickly when other similar properties are not selling at all and if they do, it is for a lower sales price?
It really comes down a few simple variables.
Preparing your property for sale
The presentation before going to market is key. This ensures that the property is presented to maximise the appeal to as many buyers as possible.
The marketing of the property
The more prospective buyers who view the property, the higher the chance that multiple buyers will want to buy your property. Spending a little extra on marketing, could make the difference between having 2 or 4 interested buyers but that is not all. Having the right marketing copy and understanding what gets buyers attention is critical. In the past 12 months many of our clients properties have ranked as the most viewed property on realestate.com.au and this is something that very few agents can provide.

According to the media, the rental market is hitting crisis point and for once, I agree. With a record low vacancy rate at 1.3%, it is the lowest vacancy rate in 12 years and in another month it is likely to be less than 1%. This means that it is near impossible to find a rental as a tenant and the market is experiencing increasing pressure from Sandgropers returning home.
Landlords Reports from property managers indicate that the market rental rate has increased by 15% in some suburbs which is the first good news for landlords in years but the WA Government have put in COVID legislation so periodic leases are treated as fixed term leases until 28 March 2021. It also means that terminating a lease is near impossible.
What if I want to sell my investment property When selling an investment property, the best option is to appeal to investors and owner occupiers alike. Although the COVID-19 restrictions make it more difficult for landlords to sell their investments, it is still possible if you use the right approach.
In particular, it is possible to sell the property with vacant possession as long as: 1) the tenant is on a periodic lease at the time when the notice to terminate is given; and 2) the contract of sale stipulates that seller is required to provide vacant possession at settlement.
The notice period is 30 days so settlement should be no less than 35 days allowing for time for the property manager to serve the notice in writing.
The housing market Stock levels are the lowest that I can recall in years and properties are selling very quickly with prices rising in in some suburbs. There is speculation that we will see price increases across the board in the next 12 months but the increases will be marginal and it also depends on what restrictions that the Government will continue to place on the market in response to COVID-19.
What is going to happen before Christmas? The net migration to WA and the low interest rates means that more tenants are becoming first home buyers which will increase demand. In a normal scenario, the outcome is higher prices but I am expecting the Perth property market to be steady with some suburbs going up. If the last 2 months is anything to go past, you can expect to see a lot of activity in the market.
On a personal level, The Haus Concierge Service is super busy and we are just keeping up with the demand for our staging and styling service that is complimentary to all of our clients and is generating great results but we did manage to take a mini break and visit Busselton with the kids this last week of the school holidays.

I really want to share with you what’s going on in the Perth Property Market right now (August 2020) because it’s absolutely bonkers. Watch the video below or get the detailed summary below.
Why is the Perth Property Market bonkers?
Properties in close proximity to the CBD, the river or the ocean are in hot demand. In the past couple of months we have experienced lots of enquiries and not many properties on the market. Usually the winter months are slow but this year has been anything but slow. Who would have thought??
Some suburbs have even experienced a slight increase in prices and there are also a few suburbs where properties are selling in less than 2 weeks including quite a few of our listings!
The recent lock-down has made many buyers realise that their current living arrangement is no longer suitable and everyone is out looking for something new. However, if you are looking at apartments and some units with long term leases in place, it is a different story as there are not that many investors out there looking to buy right now.
The Rental Market There is a current freeze on rental prices which means that landlords can’t increase the existing rent to existing tenants. It is my understanding this is likely to come to an end in October. Speaking to property managers, they are all experiencing low vacancy rates and it is therefore likely that rental prices will increase quite significantly when the rental freeze expires which will be great news for landlords. It may even get to the point where more tenants choose to become home owners again which will have a flow on effect and I suspect that this is happening already.
What to expect? My previous fear was that we were going to see a massive drop in activity and prices come October onwards when Job Keeper and the current mortgage relief was due to end. However, as the Covid 19 support situation has now been extended, it is more likely that this will be a smaller decline only.
However, many home owners are still holding off listing their property for sale which is usually the case in July and August. In the past we have seen a surge of new properties coming to market in late September and October which makes sense as properties and gardens present very well during this time. However, if there is not much competition with other similar properties for sale in your area then now is a great time to pull the trigger as more buyers will be competing for your home. If you have less competition, then you are more likely to get a premium price.
One such example is a property that was listed for sale only last week. This was a former investment property which we fully styled and staged for sale on a complimentary basis like we do for all of our clients.
On Saturday at the first home open, 20 groups came through with 5 offers now received and the property will undoubtedly sell this week during our online auction which will be held tomorrow night. If you would like to watch this from the comfort of your home, please click on the link here.
