Mind The Gap! Widening Expectations Between Buyers And Sellers

High costs of borrowing means buyers are being cautious. This is just one of the reasons why seven in ten agents are saying that it is now a buyer's market.

Buyers with a reluctance to overstretch their budget are coming up against optimistic sellers, resulting in a growing disconnect between buyer and seller expectations.

Recent analysis shows the market gap between the asking price expectations of a seller and the approved price of a buyer increased to 35.6%, 1.5% higher than the previous quarter.

Given the price sensitivity of the property market, understanding local market dynamics and pricing realistically are crucial to successfully securing a sale.

After a period in which property prices have risen sharply, sellers can be overly optimistic in their expectations. That’s why it’s more important than ever before to choose an experienced and knowledgeable agent like Quealy & Co, that will price the property for the current market.
