Noosa Country Style Summer Edition 2022/23

As we transition from one year to the next it’s a great time to reflect on the year that was and think about plans for the future. For many, this can often include plans to upsize, downsize, renovate or invest in property in our region.

Summer has historically been the prime season for property searches in the Noosa Hinterland. Surprisingly, Boxing Day has been a peak for online searches with prospective buyers kicking back after the Christmas rush to explore options for their new year property plans.

Recently realestate.com.au noted they had 12.5 million visitors per month over summer 21/22 and these visitors made a 68% increase in enquiries from the previous summer period. This is expected to increase again this year. Buyers certainly don’t take summer off and neither do we so if you’re thinking about selling in 2023, now is the perfect time to contact us so we can formulate a tailoured plan for achieving the best outcome for you.

Despite sensationalised media headlines forecasting massive price drops to be expected this year, year on year at Hinternoosa we have seen 19% growth in our average sale price. This is quite contrary to the 30% drops that Sydney and Melbourne focussed media headlines suggested we would experience. We have seen our average days on market extend, yet our office has consistently sold property in less days on market than the market at large.

Heading into our 34th year as leaders in the Noosa Hinterland property market, we are proud to be the longest standing agency in the hinterland and what that means

for our clients. With proven strategies, premium results, unparalleled experience, a strong network and a highly skilled team who are confident in changing markets, our sales and property management clients have benefitted this year by achieving premium outcomes in shorter timeframes in comparison to market averages.

The year-that-was has also highlighted that when faced with challenges like increasing costs of living, worldwide instability, market misinformation, extreme weather conditions, new minimum housing legislation and a new government, our clients depend on our expertise even more. In a year that saw around 36% less properties change hands than the previous year in the Noosa Hinterland, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients who entrusted us with their business. We have been honoured to guide you through what has often been uncertain times and we’re proud to have helped you achieve your sales and property management goals.

Wishing our clients and community all the best for a wonderful festive season. Our fabulous team are here for you throughout the holiday period to help you plan and prepare for how you can achieve all you set out to in the new year.
