Considering Selling Your Adelaide Home? Here’s What You Can Buy In A Low-stock Market

Adelaide’s real estate market continues to be a hot topic, with low stock levels dominating conversations among buyers and sellers alike. If you’re currently in a position to sell your home, you might be asking: “If I sell now, what will I be able to buy?” It’s a valid question, and the answer often presents exciting opportunities.

While a low-stock market can feel challenging for buyers, it creates an advantage for sellers. Your property is likely to attract significant attention, potentially leading to a quicker sale and a strong price. The key is understanding how to leverage this market to make your next move.

It’s true that the number of properties available is tighter than usual, but the market is far from empty. Here’s what we’re seeing, and what you could be looking at:

1. ‘Upgraders’ are finding their fit: Many homeowners are looking to move into a larger family home or a more desirable suburb. With strong sale prices for their current property, they have more equity to put towards their dream home, even if it means competing with other buyers.
2. ‘Downsizers’ are embracing lifestyle: If you’re looking to downsize, the low-stock market is perfect for selling your larger home and purchasing a low-maintenance unit, townhouse, or smaller villa. These properties are often in high demand, but with your increased buying power, you’ll be well-placed to secure one that offers the lifestyle you desire.
3. Investors are seeing potential: For those looking to invest, selling a primary residence can free up capital. While finding the perfect investment property might require patience, the rental market in Adelaide is robust, making it an attractive option for long-term growth.

Selling in a low-stock market means you’ll likely achieve a great result for your current property. Here’s how to translate that into a successful purchase:

• Be prepared: Get your finances in order and secure pre-approval for your next loan before you start seriously looking. This shows agents and sellers you’re a serious buyer.
• Act quickly, decide wisely: When the right property comes along, you need to be ready to make an offer. However, don’t rush into a decision that doesn’t align with your goals.
• Leverage your agent: Your Turner Real Estate agent isn’t just there to sell your house. They are your eyes and ears in the market, often aware of properties coming soon or quiet listings that haven’t hit the broader market yet. Discuss your buying needs with them early on.
• Consider a flexible settlement: Sometimes, negotiating a longer or shorter settlement period on your sale can give you breathing room to find your next home.
