Buyers still finding ways to buy
It seems that barely a day goes by at the moment without another announcement making it just that little bit more difficult for home buyers to find their next home. This week it was the news that property inspections had become a bit more challenging.
This latest restriction was particularly bad news for those buyers who have already sold their existing homes and are facing tightening deadlines to find their next property before they have to move out of their current home.
Yet despite these increasing challenges, we are finding that buyers are still find ways to purchase. One of our recent sales was a prime example of this.
The property in question was a brand new two-bedroom town residence situated close to vibrant shops, cafés and transport in Newcastle Street, Preston (pictured).
Being prominently positioned at the front of a group of just five, this eye-catching home attracted interest from a mix of first-time buyers and investors who saw plenty of appeal in securing a property in this sought-after residential area.
One of the features that generated positive feedback was the ‘reverse’ floorplan with the bedrooms on the lower level and the living space upstairs. Buyers also liked the fact that the bedrooms were well separated with no adjoining walls, and the finish in the kitchen with stone bench tops and 900mm appliances. A strong mid-week sale provided further confirmation that despite all the negativity in the media at the moment, there are still buyers who want to buy.
The message for those wanting to buy or sell property at the moment is not to let the challenges of the current market get in the way. The old saying that “where there’s a will there’s a way” springs to mind, so if you need any assistance or advice on the best ways to navigate your way through the current restrictions, don’t hesitate to give our team at Barry Plant Northcote a call.
