We have been reporting for some time now significantly lower prices for real estate on the

Sunshine Coast. History shows that markets generally rebound when investments in rentals

become viable. We are approaching that level now. There are homes on the market that are

priced under $300,000 that would fetch $1,300 per month rent. With a 25% down payment,

the monthly mortgage payment would be approx $1,200. Take note: when mortgage payments

get close to rental payments markets usually pick up, especially when other investments like

the stock market are uncertain. Our business is built on great client relationships. We’re

hopeful you will refer us to friends & family!

When you list and sell as many homes as RE/MAX Oceanview does, you learn a few things along the way. Like Buyers’ preference for newer construction. We have noticed that many of our buyers, including those buying for the first time, aren’t as willing to take on projects and “fixer-uppers” as they once were. This has frustrated sellers of older homes. Even though their homes are solid and livable, current buyers seem more willing to spend extra money on newer homes rather than on renovations and repairs on older ones. And remember, our business is built on great service and happy clients relationships – we’re always on the look-out for your referrals to friends and family.

Many people buy and or sell a home only 3 or 4 times in their lives. That doesn't allow for much experience. Yet they will often want to direct the marketing and other aspects of the process. As Realtors, we spend every hour of our working day helping people buy and sell. It's our job to market and sell real estate – we’re professionals. We’re licensed, held to strict standards and we know the market inside out. That's why we encourage you to let us handle the marketing and listen to our advice on pricing.  

According to the National Association of Realtors, 87% of sellers found their realtor through a referral from a friend or family member. This suggests that reputation is paramount in how people choose their agents. A resume of happy previous clients is essential. All of the realtors at RE/MAX Oceanview are successful professionals with large circles of clients, friends and family willing to refer them - one of the main reasons we've been the top listing real estate office on the Coast for 17 years in a row. 

And remember, our business is built on great service and happy clients relationships – we’re always on the look-out for your referrals to friends and family.
