Needs, Values and Goals equal Motivation...
Motivation is very powerful, particularly in our industry as it can set market trends. As an example, a ‘motivated seller’, as you sometimes read, or often do not read, as it only becomes evident in a low sale price. That low sale price can and will, if not explained, ‘set the trend’ for the next sale in the area/building. Sadly, often agents will use that data to achieve a ‘quick sale’ of another property, without any explanation as to the ‘motivation of the seller’. That motivation is often not a ‘destressed sale’, but rather a destressed individual with life situations that causes them to feel pressure or stress, so they reduce their selling price to below market value. When selling against such sales, we simply say ‘that property is no longer available’, it was an ‘anomaly’.
We have had in recent times what I describe as “sad sales”, i.e. we have not ‘on paper’ achieved market value. We know why however, we are not able to express that in our advertising, thus a ‘low sale price’ that will potentially cause an agent who does not have the knowledge, to ‘under sell’ the next comparable property. How do we combat that? Only with dialog...
Also, within our industry, the other dangerous ‘motivation’ we see is that of Real Estate Agents, who are in need of listings, as stock is so tight and the use of the media ‘hype’ of ‘prices are going down’ to encourage people to “sell now before the decline”, when there is no evidence of a decline – now we are speaking only of the Main Beach/Paradise Waters market. We say, if you would like to sell now and have a reason to sell, yes now is the time, however, not because of the fear of market decline...
My quote this week is “the more you do, the more there is to do...” As I have said before we seem to create busyness, which in turn creates business. In keeping with that, we have another 2 New Listings this week.
A hidden ‘gem’ nestled away in the boutique (9 apartments only) residential complex of Cronin Palms, is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, with 2 car spaces and storage... It is very reasonably priced at $925,000 and available to view at any time by appointment. The apartment is a family home to the tenants who moved in over 8 years ago as a couple and have over the years become a family of 4. They love living in Main Beach and would love to stay... Photographs are not available, as we value the tenants privacy, however, it is featured below and available to view by private inspection at any time with some notice. Please contact us to arrange an inspection.
The other which is literally ‘hot off the press’, as the authority was only signed late today, is a very spacious 176m2, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment in the highly regarded Malibu, again a residential only complex. Situated on Level 5, this appartment is ideal for those of you who do not like heights but will enjoy the great views of the river and Broadwater. Mind you the views from this apartment are far superior to many on higher floors in other complexes, due to its corner position and northwest aspect looking over the Main Beach lowset dwellings. Another advantage – Malibu, located on the corner of Tedder Avenue and Breaker Street, is just a stroll to all that ‘Tedder’ has to offer and approximately 300 metres to the beach... Listed at $1,350,000 the apartment is well worth viewing, so please contact us for a private inspection at any time.
The newly renovated Apartment 6 in Scalinada is also featured below and available to view at any time. Again, at only $775,000, fully renovated, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, with 2 car spaces and low Body Corp fees, only 3 steps up from ground level and only steps from the beach, this is the perfect Main Beach retreat...
As is Apartment 18 Scalinada, which is now vacant and ready to go at only $695,500. Perfect, if you would like to add your own personal touches, as it is original and well maintained, located on the top floor. It is open for inspection on Saturday only at 11 to 11.45 am, so either see Claire there or call her to make an appointment to view.
Speaking of Open Homes, which have become rare... We have also featured Apartment 108 Xanadu North, as it will be Open to View on Saturday between 12 and 12:30pm and Sunday 10 to 10:30 am this weekend only. The apartment, which we mentioned some time ago, has not been presented to the market, as access to view has been ‘prit ' near impossible’, due to back to back holiday bookings. So, this is your opportunity to view. We do have access for the entire weekend until Monday mid-day, so please feel free to call to arrange a private inspection if the Open Home times are not convenient.
Apartment 402 Park Lane, one of our New Listings mentioned in the last Newsletter, is SOLD! It lasted no time at all, going under contract within days of listing... So, congratulations to the happy Seller and Buyer and to Mary, who negotiated the contract! Talk about a quick sale...
After a long settlement Apartment 43 Atlantis East settled today. Congratulations to the Seller, Buyers! Also, to Mary and myself who bought the parties together. We would like to thank the Seller, our long-time client, for all her support over the years and wish her the very best in her new home, which also settled today!
In Property Management this week we continue to be busy with properties generally being tenanted very quickly. So, as always, we are looking for ‘stock’... Also, if you are looking for a rental property, please register your interest with us. We do maintain a ‘Tenant’s database’.
We also have Apartment 10 Calais Open to View for rent, as listed below. It will be open tomorrow, Saturday, between 9:30 and 9:50 am. The apartment is 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, with 2 side by side car spaces and is available from mid-February at $900 per week. So, visit David to view.
Have a great weekend!
Very best wishes, Annette and the MBPS Team
