How to sell your property in Caloundra QLD in today’s current market.


Based on these 5 factors, people looking for property to live or invest in Caloundra, 2020, are looking at property that ticks as many boxes as possible (within price reason!). 

When you are selling a property in Caloundra, the key factors that smart buyers are looking for is a balanced scorecard that includes an accurate assessment of the:

  • Location

  • Age

  • State of Presentation

  • Block Size

  • Other Significant Factors

 Let’s be completely transparent.  Property is in demand in Caloundra.  Every single Agent wants your listing.  The good Agents want your listing because property in Caloundra is selling. 

 But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

When you are selling a property in Caloundra and surrounding suburbs of 4551, a potential buyer has access to a number of online resources on the property – some with incomplete or inaccurate data that offers a “median price’ on your property value.  Sellers must have access to current market knowledge in order to meet the demand and expectation of astute buyers looking for houses, units or townhouses in Caloundra in 2020.

Look out for this!

What is not counted on these ‘guesstimate’ sites is that sometimes property is bought and sold without ever being advertised or marketed online. Some sites are quoting population data from ABS 2016, and on the Sunshine Coast in 2020, we know that there has been a shift in how Queensland and the lifestyle here is perceived. 

Caloundra, QLD has access to some of the finest beaches and lifestyle in Australia.  The shift caused by a global pandemic has seen populations desiring to leave the city and move to regional hubs.  The Sunshine Coast Council provide up to date information on the innovation, sustainability and potential of the area – which has seen no decline in property value, October, 2020.

Get current advice for today’s market.

That is why in-depth and extensive sales history matters when selling property in Caloundra.  A complete, up to date assessment of your property by your preferred Agent with a local office and team, enables the seller and the buyer to proceed with confidence. 

Successful buyers in the property market in Caloundra, 2020 have experienced some growth in their investment.  We have found that after doing much of their own personal research, they seek the advice of trusted Caloundra based Agents who have extensive and comparable sales history of their own in the area.

Local buyers are aware of who pays for flashy marketing ads to promote their own faces.  Having a flashy profile and paying other providers to manage and collect personal data for 5star reviews is simply not marketing your property.  In fact, it could harm the successful sale as your property could be perceived to be ‘overpriced’ or is simply not displayed on their own website and sent back to a site containing your direct competition.  

Check the scorecard

Checking your valuation scorecard increases your chances of attracting the right buyer who is willing to purchase property here in this beachside paradise. 

In 2020, selling property in Caloundra is competitive and buyers are looking to check as many of those boxes as they can, as they move with caution.  It is even more important that trusted and stable Agents in Caloundra can deliver sales results that have come from ‘inspiration not desperation’.

Well-known local Agent, David Millar, who has been selling property on the Sunshine Coast for over 30 years, passes on a comparative description of how selling property can sometimes work:

“People will buy from the dev!l* himself if they want it that badly.”

What this means is that if people want it, they will find a way – or at least try to.  Buyers looking for property in this market are looking for transparency, not a bloodbath.  If you are looking to sell your property and meet the market expectations, you can be sure that the most successful buyers have sought up to date knowledge to value your property on today’s current market value.

Get the basics right

When it comes to selling your property (unless you want to do deals with the  dev!l*) it works for sellers to keep the basics in mind and offer your property in top condition and the right price.  DIY in this market is best left for home handywork.  Having expert local opinion doesn’t get results but an expert marketing plan does.
