Perth Property Exceeds Expectations

According to a new report commissioned by Openn, 35% of Australian properties sold below agent price expectations for February. The research allows a tolerance of 10% either side of the agent advertised price and under normal market conditions, 45% of properties should sell within this range. A lower proportion of sales meeting the agent asking price is an indication of a disparity between sellers expectations and buyer demand.

New South Wales saw the greatest gap between buyers and sellers, with 68% of sales for February below the expected price by 10% or more. Western Australia not only had the highest proportion of sales within price expectations, it also had the highest proportion of properties (12%) sold above expectations.

This is great news for sellers, a further proof that strong demand is maintaining the stability of the Perth property market. For buyers though, caution is needed. Openn research also found multiple ‘surprise’ sales in Western Australia, where properties sold for 25% or more above the asking price.

Digging a little deeper, it becomes apparent that in these ‘surprise’ instances, buyers vastly overpaid for properties. Paying more than a property is actually worth is a real danger when stock levels are so low and competition is high. Avoid buyer regret by doing your research or having an expert work for you to ensure you secure the right property at the right price.
