Common property selling FAQs
When is the best time to sell property in the Sutherland Shire?
Here in Sydney, you can sell a property anytime – though past results do show that certain times of year tend to be better than others.
Buyers tend to come out in force during spring and summer. Pleasant, dry weather, school holidays and that general feeling of starting something ‘new’ makes September-November the beginning of the big real estate sales period. While there’s more competition too, the extra buyers typically offset that.
Here in Sydney specifically, studies have shown that March may also be optimal – so that gives you a big window!
What do I need to do to prepare my property for sale?
Depending on the condition of your property, there may be quite a lot to do to prepare it for sale.
The first thing is to put yourself in a buyer’s shoes and think, what will they be looking for? Maintenance issues, mess, untidiness, clutter and unusual personal items may distract from the buying experience. Buyers want to imagine themselves living in their new home, which means tidying, cleaning and decluttering are essential first steps.

What is a property appraisal, and should I get one?
A free property appraisal is an estimation of what your property is worth in today’s market, put together by one of our licensed real estate team members. Taking into account your property size, location and various market factors, and gives a good estimation as to what you may be able to obtain for it should you choose to sell.
This price benchmark can help you set realistic expectations when selling and gives you something to help negotiate with buyers – you’ll know when low is too low, or when you’re getting a good offer.
How long does it take to sell a house?
Every house takes its own time on the market, because each house is unique. The size of your property, its location, local amenities, public transport routes and other factors will make it more or less appealing for buyers, and therefore impact how long it will be on the market for.
Generally, we would expect most properties to take an average of one to two months to sell, though this is highly subject to current market conditions. For an understanding of the current average, contact our real estate team for a personal consultation.
What are common house selling mistakes?
