The Perth property market is currently a seller’s dream. With record-high median prices, fierce buyer demand, and a shortage of available homes, the conditions are perfect for achieving a fantastic result.

So, why are some homeowners hesitating to put up the ‘for sale’ sign?

We’re hearing a common concern from those looking to upsize, downsize, or cash in on their property’s growth: “If I sell now, where will I go?” It’s the fear of not being able to secure your next home in the same competitive market.

If this sounds like you, don’t let that uncertainty hold you back from a golden opportunity. There are smart, effective strategies that can give you the confidence and time you need to make your next move seamless.

Strategies for a Stress-Free Sale and Purchase

Navigating a fast-moving market is all about having the right plan. Here are a few powerful options we can explore with you:

  1. Negotiate a Longer Settlement: One of the simplest and most effective strategies is to request a longer settlement period, such as 90 or 120 days. This gives you a confirmed sale price for your current home while providing you with months of breathing room to find and purchase your next one.
  2. Make it ‘Subject to Purchase’: We can add a special condition to your sales contract that makes the sale of your home conditional on you successfully purchasing another. This provides the ultimate safety net, ensuring you won’t be left without a place to live.
  3. Arrange a ‘Rent-Back’ Agreement: Love your home and just need a little more time after it’s sold? A rent-back agreement allows you to sell your property to the new owner and then rent it back from them for a fixed period. This unlocks your equity and allows you to house-hunt with cash in hand, all from the comfort of your current home.
  4. Gain Insider Access: As active local agents, we are constantly talking to homeowners and know about properties long before they hit the open market. Partnering with us means you’ll be one of the first to know about upcoming listings that match your criteria, giving you a significant advantage over other buyers.
