As we step into a new year, it’s hard to believe how quickly time moves. We’re given the same 525,600 minutes each year, yet how we use them determines the outcomes we see. As the years go by, time seems to pass faster—one year can go by with little change, while another can completely transform our lives.

One principle that has always stayed with me is: “What gets measured gets done.” While setting goals and resolutions is important, it’s just as critical - if not more so - to track progress regularly and act with the mindset that time is limited. That urgency is often what turns intention into results.

A Snapshot of 2025

2025 has been the biggest year in our company’s history. We have continued to grow from strength to strength, and none of this would be possible without the trust and support of our clients—buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and everyone who has dealt with our business. We are truly grateful.

Here are a few highlights from the year:

Our residential and commercial sales divisions sold almost $450 million worth of property

Our residential and commercial rental divisions now manage approximately 1,200 properties

The median days on market for residential sales in 2025 was just 14 days. 

The average weekly rent across our managed residential properties sits at $670 per week.

Overall, 2025 was one of the fastest-growing years we’ve seen in the real estate market. House prices rose strongly across all suburbs we operate in, and even in the final weeks leading up to Christmas, open homes were attracting large crowds—often resulting in five or more offers within seven days of listing.

Our Biggest Advice for Buyers and Sellers

After selling close to 450 properties in 2025, and working closely with a wide range of buyers and sellers, here is our key advice:

To Sellers:
If your property receives multiple offers and buyers are given at least three opportunities to improve their price, the highest offer - especially if it exceeds recent comparable sales - is very likely the best offer for your home. Even in a strong seller’s market, we’ve seen properties sit on the market for extended periods when sellers push too far. Buyers begin to question why a home hasn’t sold quickly, often resulting in a lower final outcome.

To Buyers:
Don’t try to “win” by negotiating against the market. In the current environment, winning means securing the property - even if it feels expensive at the time. Many buyers tell us just three months later that they’re glad they paid what they did.

We’ve seen countless buyers miss out over $10,000, only to be priced out of the area entirely soon after.
It’s also critical to engage a solicitor and broker who are realistic and practical, not idealistic.

Currently:
Around 70% of our sales are settling with 7-day finance and no building & pest conditions (where reports have
already been completed).

Around 30% of sales are cash and unconditional Strong offers with extended finance periods or additional conditions are often rejected when cleaner offers are available.

There is always risk in buying real estate. If you’re not comfortable with the current market risks, waiting for conditions to stabilise may suit you better—but be aware that prices may be significantly higher by then.

As you read this, our team is back in full swing for the new year. If there’s anything you need—advice, support, or simply a conversation about the market—please don’t hesitate to reach out. Call, text, WhatsApp, or email us anytime. We’re here to help.

We look forward to working with you in 2026.
