Over the past few weeks, I’ve been out and about looking at some beautiful homes, including time recently spent on the Yorke Peninsula with fellow eXp colleague Tim Hosking.
Walking through different properties and talking with vendors reminded me of something important: Many people are quietly wondering the same question right now…
“Is this a good time to sell?”
If that thought has crossed your mind, you’re not alone.
Across the Southern Suburbs and Fleurieu Peninsula, we’re continuing to see strong buyer interest, particularly for:
Family homes ready to move into
Lifestyle properties with space and outdoor living
Coastal and semi-rural homes
Well-presented properties priced correctly for today’s market
Buyers are still there. 2026, success isn’t just about listing, it’s about preparation, positioning and pricing.
The right strategy is making the difference between a good result and a great one.
The better question is: “What would my home sell for right now and what would I need to do to achieve the best result?”
Every property, and every situation is different.
Things we look at together include:
Current local buyer demand
Comparable recent sales
Presentation and small improvements that add value
Timing the launch to maximise competition
Marketing strategy to attract the right buyers
Often, sellers are surprised to learn their home may be worth more than they expected or that a few simple steps could significantly increase their outcome.
One thing that has stood out recently while working with homeowners is this: The people who plan early achieve the strongest results.
When we have time to:
Prepare the home properly
Talk through the best selling method
Organise trades or styling if needed
Launch at the right time
…we create momentum, confidence and buyer competition.
That’s where the premium results happen!
You don’t need to be ready to sell tomorrow. Many of the people I work with start with a simple conversation months, sometimes even a year before they list.
A professional appraisal can help you:
Understand your current value
Plan your next move with confidence
Decide on the right timing
Avoid unnecessary spending
Know exactly what buyers in your area are looking for
And there’s no obligation.
To celebrate my move to eXp Realty Australia, I’m currently offering:
Complimentary, no-obligation property appraisals
Strategy sessions for sellers considering their next move
Celebration discounts on listing fees (limited time)
Referral thank-you gifts for introductions that result in a successful sale
It’s my way of continuing to support the community that supports me.
If you’re even slightly curious about your home’s value or your options, now is a great time to start the conversation.
Early planning = stronger results.
