As a local real estate expert, I get this question all the time: “Mark, is now a good time to sell?”
And it’s a fair question. The market can shift quickly and knowing when to make a move can make a big difference to your result.
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a growing trend in our area — more homeowners are choosing to sell now, and many are being rewarded for it.
1. Low Stock = Less Competition
Right now, there are fewer properties on the market than usual. This isn’t just a seasonal dip — it’s a real shortage, especially in quality homes in desirable pockets.
Fewer homes on the market means more attention on yours. Buyers don’t have as many options, which creates urgency and competition — often leading to faster sales and better prices.
If you’re considering selling, this is a strategic window where your property can stand out.
2. Buyer Confidence is Building
There’s renewed confidence, especially from upsizers, downsizers, and even first-home buyers who were sitting on the sidelines just a few months ago.
This uptick in activity has brought energy back to open homes, private inspections, and buyer enquiry levels.
3. Sellers Who Prepare Are Winning
One thing hasn’t changed: presentation and pricing are still everything.
The sellers getting great results right now are the ones who put in the work up front — decluttering, styling, small updates — and listen to good advice on pricing and timing.
At Dimmock Property, we guide every client through this step-by-step, ensuring your property is positioned to attract the right buyers and achieve the best possible outcome.
4. Buyer FOMO is Back
When buyers feel they’ve missed the “cheaper market” and start hearing about homes selling quickly again, something kicks in — urgency.
We’re seeing more buyers submit strong offers early, attend midweek inspections, and follow up immediately after open homes.
Why? Because they don’t want to miss out (again).
5. My Honest Advice to Homeowners
I’ve been working in this community for years — I’ve helped families upsize, retirees downsize, investors move on, and first-time sellers navigate their biggest financial decision yet.
Here’s my take:
If you’ve been thinking about selling, now is a great time to have a conversation.
You don’t need to rush, but understanding your position and your property’s value is key.
You might be sitting on an opportunity and not even realise it.
And remember — it costs you nothing to ask the question.
