Think back to when you bought your first property. Was it everything you ever wanted? For most of us, the dream of homeownership was the driving force in our buying decision and we were happy to compromise on certain features to get our 'foot in the door'. Small bedrooms, long walk-up paths, dated kitchens and tired bathrooms. To a point, none of it seemed to matter. What was important was climbing that first rung on the property ladder. The satisfaction of being a homeowner. Inevitably though, there comes a point where you seek a little more. It's only natural. When you have been working hard for years, chipping away at the mortgage, visions of your ideal home (or one a little more suited to your needs) start to materialise.

Property markets go through natural cycles which historically last approximately 7 - 10 years each. During each cycle, prices don't rise in a linear fashion.

Making an offer to buy a home can be a daunting process. There are decisions to make around price, conditions, and settlement date. Then you have to negotiate all those terms with the owner, who might have very different ideas on market value. On top of all that, throw in potential competition from other buyers and you have quite a situation! Here are 5 key things to know before you make an offer. They will help you navigate this process and come out the other side with a home you absolutely love, at a fair price. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When you put your home up for sale, it’s natural to expect buyers to do their part and turn up to the first open home, ready to fall in love and make an offer. Often though, the initial response from the market can be underwhelming. Buyers have a large amount of choice to work through, and when building their shortlist of properties to visit, their focus is often on finding reasons not to visit a home. Which means many properties can struggle to get past the ‘online browsing’ phase. If you find yourself in this situation – where your home is getting lots of looks online, but very few visits in person, fear not! There are steps you can take to increase enquiry.
