First Time

Now is a perfect time to buy well. Be it your first home, your next home or your last home. It is simple, but seemingly not easy.

Mexican Wave

It’s hard to pass a speeding bullet, no matter how much ammo you’re given.

Pressure Cooker

Statistically it’s a very hot market. Statistics say this heat will continue at least until Easter.

Bidderman 2.4

Bidderman @ 2.4 across a wide range of auctions tells us the market is: STRONG.

91 percent

Feels as hot as 2016 and maybe even 2015. 

Demand and heat has been building since Lockdown 2 ended October of last year.

Respond v React

1) A number of homes are selling before auction and well above the quote, a sure sign there is more buyers than sellers and the market feels good to Easter and in fact beyond that.

Tolstoy

Better to know a few things which are good and necessary than many things which are useless and mediocre. Leo Tolstoy

Winding Down

There is a definite feeling of winding down into Christmas after a huge post lockdown burst of activity.

Anatomy of an Auction

Although it was $800,000 over the reserve, there were no real surprises. This 4 bidder auction script was written a few years ago when the seller bought this home and renovated it exquisitely………

Depth

How deep are our markets?

Mo is here

Mo is alive and well and right here in Melbourne in so many ways. Mo is Momentum.

window

On v Off: Right Now – If I was taking my home to market right now and it was half decent and you had room for a small advertising budget, then I would be putting my home on the market as opposed to running a quiet off-market campaign.

Open Today

Yes interest rates are low – but they were low in lockdown and no sales – emotion, not interest rates are the NO 1 determinant in markets and the emotion of next year (good or bad), is just as unknown to anybody (including us), as the Grand Final winner is.

SEX & Y

We talk a lot about great sex at James Buy Sell.
