Reuben Packer-Hill 4069 Market Report 2021 Q1

4069 MARKET REPORT 2021 QUARTER ONE

Market Observations 2020 will go down in the history books as a moment in time that will have redefined how we live and work. Fast forward into 2021, I doubt anyone could’ve predicted how our local property market has rallied into one of our strongest yet. So, what is actually happening out there?

Essentially, it comes down to the simple economic equation of supply and demand. There is currently a record low number of available properties for sale through 4069 and surrounds, and buyer activity has nearly doubled since 2019.

The low number of available properties for sale is the direct outcome of seller uncertainty over the last twelve months. The usual number of potential vendors either didn’t purchase a property to downsize or upsize into through 2020, or simply didn’t action pre-sale preparation and consideration during this time as most assumed it would be a bad time to sell. Then, combine that with a pent-up supply of downsizing vendors, due to the lack of development catering for empty-nesters and downsizers.

Current market activity will also see an upswing in median price, and therefore capital growth. So, unless potential sellers have a pressing need to sell, most will opt to hold and ride the wave.

The notable increase in buyer demand has been driven mainly by historically low interest rates. Buyers are using this opportunity to take advantage of borrowing cheap money to upsize (our largest buying demographic), or for first home buyers, just to get into the property market.

Couple that with an increased appetite for lifestyle changes from our southern state neighbours, property enquiry is as strong as I have seen for over a decade.

Our prestige markets are also extremely active. Our local surrounds have recorded more sales over $2M in the last nine months, than were recorded over the last five years.

Confidence and more transactions in the upper end of the market is also having a direct impact on the rise of median prices.

Whilst no one can look into a crystal ball and predict the future, I believe strong market conditions will continue for the next six – twelve months (if not longer). The speed of market growth may slow as more sellers decide to take advantage of these conditions; however, all the fundamentals indicate further growth in our local property market. Some industry experts are even predicting property prices to rise by 20% over the coming two years.

My advice: one way or another, you need to have/keep equity in the property market over the next two years.

Client testimonials “Excellent service and great results! From the beginning of our communication, Reuben and his team were friendly, helpful, practical, and precise with advice and feedback. No question was too small to answer and no issue too large to solve. We received prompt replies to every query and practical help to get our house in order to go to market. We could not have chosen better in terms of agent and team and agency, and we highly recommend Reuben to any homeowner looking to sell.”

Mr & Mrs Rennie “Outstanding agent and team. We highly recommend Reuben and his very efficient team - we have been involved in many property transactions. From our first meeting we knew he would achieve our objective. He absorbs what you say, appreciates the value and positive aspects of your property and he works for your best interest not just getting a quick sale. Reuben and the team are fully committed and he excels at negotiating.

It was very refreshing and a pleasure to work with an agent who was always positive and very switched on.”

Mr & Mrs O’Neil “Reuben's knowledge of the market is exceptional.

Reuben's knowledge of the market is exceptional. His vision for our house to get ready for market added a lot of value. He was patient with us when offering advice for selling and trying to purchase. Always being available to bounce ideas off whilst being the upmost professional with honesty and integrity.”

Mr & Mrs Tucker “No roller coaster ride here Reuben and his team made it easy! Right from the beginning we both knew that Reuben was the man for the job! Product knowledge, connecting with us as clients and his care of us as we stepped through the process made selling a pleasant experience! We are so pleased with the outcome and so appreciative of Reuben and the great team of people that help him we can’t recommend them highly enough!

Well done to all concerned!”

Mr & Mrs Jones “Awesome Support for Remote Purchasers - My family were purchasing remotely due to COVID restrictions.

We were obviously very nervous about purchasing a house which we had never had the opportunity to see in person. To help us through the process Reuben facilitated an extremely thorough walk through the entire property. He opened all the cupboards, went into every room in detail, even went under the house to show us the condition of beams etc. This gave us the confidence we needed to make an offer which was ultimately successful. Even after exchange Reuben

realised that we would probably want to be able to see the house in more detail again, so he went to the trouble of creating a 10 minute walkthrough video of the house.

During the settlement he also facilitated the purchase of certain large items (fridge etc) from the current owners.”

Mr & Mrs Rodwell “Reuben handled the sale of our house extremely well.

He has good knowledge of the market, maintains good relationships with potential buyers and sellers. Reuben was able to get us an attractive offer within a week of putting our house on the market. It was stress free and were able to settle the property while being overseas.

Would definitely recommend Reuben. Well done!”

Mr & Mrs Narayunan “Reuben and his team offered a full service real estate experience. Their knowledge, professionalism and marketing advice helped us to choose a strategy that best suited our property. Qualified purchasers inspected our home resulting in multiple offers and a quick sale. Thank you Reuben!”

Mr & Mrs Bassi “Warm and heartfelt thanks to Reuben and his team, particularly Jack and Isabella, at McGrath Paddington who ensured that the purchase of our property was a pleasurable experience. Nothing was too much trouble and the level of professionalism was impressive!”

Mr & Mrs Mackay “Reuben and team provided excellent service right from the moment we turned up to the open house until we completed settlement. They were fair, prompt and efficient at every step of the way. With their help, we secured our lovely home within 3 weeks of making our offer. Would highly recommend him as a top agent in the Chapel Hill area.” Mr Tee “We have always found selling houses to be a very stressful time but to our surprise working with Reuben and his team turned out to be positive, pleasant experience.

Firstly, Reuben gave us sound advice regarding the preparation of our property and secondly his team were always there willing to help with anything we needed.

Communication was very good! In short, Reuben had a tried and trusted plan, we followed it and it worked.

Our house sold within a week! Great result, thank you to all.”

Mr & Mrs Forbes

“We recently purchased our new house through McGrath with Reuben and his team - and couldn’t have been happier with their service. We were thoroughly impressed with their honesty and easy communication.

During the negotiations they were quick to respond and worked to ensure both parties were kept up to date with progress. Then during the settlement period they reached out at each opportune time to provide assistance and organise anything we needed to keep things on track. Reuben is well backed by Jack (he’s a star) and Isabella who have both been a delight to deal with. I’d highly recommend Reuben and his team to anyone looking to sell or buy.”

“If you want quality - think Reuben Packer-Hill!

Prior to engaging Reuben to sell my home I had some reservations. Would this young faced man be skilled enough, looks slick but is it all show with no go, talks the talk but will he walk the walk? I threw caution to the wind and signed him up. Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY. Champion guy, extremely professional, personable, polite, energetic and collaborative with sellers. I was always kept up to date with market, buyers and future house presentations. Reuben’s team is reflective of his knowledge and professionalism, all joy to deal with. I chose wisely when employing Reuben to sell my home, do yourself a favour and do the same.”

Mr & Mrs Eastgat

Mr Adams

“Reuben and his team were a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. They kept us well informed throughout the entire process, gave valuable advice in preparation for sale and were diligent with communications during the offer and negotiation phases. We felt valued as clients and that our best interests always came first. A high standard of quality in the approach to marketing, promotion and pricing meant plenty of positive interest from first open home to the finalised sale. Reuben’s approach also resulted in a relatively quick sale compared to our expectations and we felt to be by far one of the best represented homes in our area. Do yourself a favour and work with Reuben. An absolute professional who gets results.”

“Reuben’s knowledge of the market is exceptional. His vision for our house to get ready for market added a lot of value. He was patient with us when offering advice for selling and trying to purchase. Always being available to bounce ideas off whilst being the upmost professional with honesty and integrity. We would definitely be using him again in the future.”

Mr & Mrs Strutt “We couldn’t be happier with our dealings with Reuben and his team. He managed to sell two of our investment houses very quickly and with great results. Not only that, he helped us save a significant amount of money using his expertise and top level negotiation skills. We can’t recommend Reuben and his team enough.”

Mr & Mrs Stewart “Reuben is an agent for our times. He is switched on to the power of social media as a selling tool! Given that so many under 45 year old buyers use social media as their link to the market place there is no better skill for a modern estate agent. Reuben also qualifies buyers well and can handle objections equally well. We feel we got a good price and Reuben helped with that. My wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending Reuben to sellers in postcode 4069.”

Mr & Mrs Robinson

Mr & Mrs Tucker “Reuben and his team were excellent... nothing was ever too much trouble. They were always available to answer questions and always extremely professional. Reuben's knowledge of the market and the area helped us immensely during our journey... from our first meeting through to completion he gave an extremely accurate appraisal of our property, gave great comparisons in the area and we achieved an outstanding outcome. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Reuben again, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”

Mr & Mrs Lee-Bernstien “I can’t speak highly enough about Reuben & his team.

They were always professional, friendly and flexible with working around our busy schedules & family life. They were upfront and honest with us even if it wasn’t what we wanted to hear. We have dealt with a lot of agents in the past but none that were the same caliber as Reuben & his team. I think that anyone who engages Reuben & his team will agree that they set the bar high and exceed expectations.

Mr & Mrs Schwede “From the moment we met RPH and his team it was obvious they had the skillsets and confidence to market our property where it belonged. They showed a huge amount of initiative by posting a hand written letter identifying how lucrative our property sale could be and how buoyant the market was for this level - they did it the old fashioned way, door to door with a personal touch. From that point on they blew us away with the attention to detail in every way, sage advice at every critical juncture and best guidance on how to maximise

Client testimonials the look of the property at minimum cost. The handling of clients was VIP all the way and people bought into the fact that a quality team were selling a quality product.

At a few stages we hit road bumps but they were quickly and expertly smoothed out by RPH & his team, even to the extent that the asking price was exceeded just when we thought buyers were pulling out, very deftly handled. The team were a joy to work with, excellent communication throughout and not a real worry throughout the sales process as they instilled confidence that everything would be achieved as advertised because they were so professional. Outstanding team, outstanding service and an exemplary agency.”

Mr & Mrs Gaynor “Make it happen through Reuben! Talk about making it happen! Your house is often the most cherished possession you have and you want someone who treat you and the prospective buyer with that sentiment.

We were impressed by the extreme diligence and dedication throughout the process. Nothing was missed, he followed up closely, not missing a thing, there was always assurance and reassurance, there trustworthiness and reliance, and extreme flexibility and hard work to make it as smooth as possible for everyone involved! Highly recommend him!”

Mr Jasion & Mrs John “Reuben is a total professional, great communicator and the best sales agent we’ve ever used. After buying and selling 23 homes over the last 45 years we’ve experienced every type of real estate agent. Initially we interviewed 6 agents: a couple were very disappointing, the others were good and then there was Reuben. He was the most transparent, able to clearly describe the market and suggest a number of options. My price expectations were higher than his, but instead of arguing with me he proposed a soft launch by advertising the property on social media. Within 24 hours we had a contract which unfortunately fell over on the 14th day. Two days after that he sold it again at a higher price and again that fell over. Over this time we had roadworks outside our home, the anticipated announcement of the election, the election, a hospital stay for me and the relaxation of the banks lending criteria. Through out those months he kept me informed of the market and helped me to decide when to relist the property. Before I could put our home back on the market one of Reuben’s buyers, who came through in the first week our home was listed, offered us a cash unconditional contract. Reuben successfully negotiated a contract, again within my price expectation.

Reuben is very methodical and has an excellent team who are well informed. Reuben and his team kept me informed at all times and were particularly considerate

when I had to go to hospital. I would happily rate Reuben as the best sales agent we have ever engaged. At all times he was working for us, the sellers. His communication skills, knowledge, personal style, attention to detail, client service and seller satisfaction certainly made working with Reuben a highly professional experience and pleasure. Also a big thank you to his team who were always available to offer support or information. I highly recommend you consider Reuben when selling your home. If you’d like more information about our experience please call Reuben for my contact details.”

Mrs Manifold “Awesome outcome, Thank you very much to Reuben, Jack and Isabella for delivering an awesome outcome.

I was impressed by the clear communication through out the process, the insightful sales strategy and the attention to every detail. Its clear that Reuben has a deep understanding of the market and where value sits, and I would highly recommend Reuben and his team.”

Mr Harding-Smith “Reuben and his team were flawless in their proposals, strategies and professionalism through the whole process. They made it so easy and stress free! We couldn’t recommend his team highly enough and will definitely be going through them if we sell again.”

Mr & Mrs Birmingham “Great service from Ruben & his team particularly Isabella, clear communication throughout & swift settlement period just 5 weeks after first viewing property.”

Mrs Gilimour “Reuben and his team were excellent! Everyone on the team is personable, professional, and great communicators. Reuben is very knowledgeable and has the perfect balance of reassuring confidence and humility. He’s great to work with and is very skilful - we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell!”

Mr & Mrs Hubbard “The estimate of the price range was realistic. As it turned out we got a price towards the upper end of the range. Impressive enthusiasm of Reuben's team at open days. Responsible use of advertising budget. In fact it was underspent. Communication was excellent.

Impressed by Reuben's knowledge of the history of the area. Happy to recommend this team to others.”

Mr & Mrs Griffiths

“It is truly refreshing to have a wonderful team of individuals, who complement each other so well assist in selling one's home. As you can imagine there is always fear and emotion at play. Reuben and team bring a very deep knowledge of the market as well as strong capabilities to the campaign. They listened closely and sculpted just the right approach for us. Feedback was constant and any request we made was met with energy and commitment. We now see Reuben and team as friends. Thanks, well done” Mr & Mrs Jones “Outstanding agent and team. We highly recommend Reuben and his very efficient team - we have been involved in many property transactions. From our first meeting we knew he would achieve our objective. He absorbs what you say, appreciates the value and positive aspects of your property and he works for your best interest not just getting a quick sale.

We are so pleased with the outcome and so appreciative of Reuben and the great team of people that help him we can’t recommend them highly enough! Well done to all concerned!”

“Home Sale Success! Reuben and his team were exceptional not only in market knowledge, but also the in identifying, discussing and implementing the best sale strategy. The attention to detail and personalised service is the best we have experienced after numerous property transactions, providing confidence and trust throughout the entire process. Without doubt the best Agent and team we have experienced.”

Mr & Mrs Benesmann “Perfect Experience for First Home Buyers. We were looking for our first home and it was love at first site a Reuben Packer-Hill property in Pullenvale. From that first inspection Isabella, Brady and Jack were warm and professional, answering any and all of our questions and walking us through the process of making an EOI offer.

Everything happened incredibly quickly from that point, with the whole team available at a moment's notice to answer time-sensitive queries and ensure our offer was one the vendor was happy with. We are delighted to be moving in to our forever home shortly and for that reason probably won't be needing Reuben Packer-Hill's services again any time soon but we wouldn't hesitate to use the team again.”

Mr & Mrs Prior “Great to deal with and a good outcome Reuben and his team provided a polished sales experience that delivered on their commitments. They were transparent and trustworthy to deal with and supported us throughout the sale process. I would highly recommend Reuben as an agent servicing the Western suburbs of Brisbane.”
