Tune Out the Noise & Tune In to the Experts Legendary writer Rudyard Kipling suggested that “if you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs” you will succeed where others fail. He wasn't thinking of Australian real estate when he wrote those words but they apply aptly to the current situation in property markets. Many real estate consumers are confused amid economic disruption, political meddling, negative media and inconsistent data about market performance. It's knocked people's confidence and made them hesitant. Multi award-winning buyers' agent and best-selling author Miriam Sandkuhler says success belongs to those who can tune out the white noise and see the opportunities. Those making good investment decisions amid the mayhem are usually those who have access to expert advice and quality research information. Now more than ever, real estate consumers need genuine experts in their corner – people they can trust to provide quality advice based on real knowledge and hard-won experience. Miriam Sandkuhler of Property Mavens recently joined Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder in a webinar to help you make sense of all that's happening in real estate. Sandkuhler discussed which markets are firing, where there is potential for growth and the kinds of property strategies that will carry investors safely through good times and bad.

Australian property markets abound with opportunities for real estate investors in 2023. Consumers can be forgiven for not realising that, given the sensationally negative nature of media coverage of housing markets. But, right now, the equation for property investors seeking opportunities is particularly strong. Consider these realities:- • Many markets are less competitive than before, with buyers having the upper hand in negotiations. • Vacancies across Australia are the lowest ever recorded. • Rents and yields are rising, providing good compensation for rising interest rates. • Most specialist property analysts – including Louis Christopher of SQM Research, Terry Ryder of Hotspotting and Simon Pressley of Propertyology – are forecasting that prices will rise in most locations in 2023. That equation represents opportunity for investors who buy strategically. Multi-award-winning buyers' advocate and best-selling author Miriam Sandkuhler of Property Mavens featured in a webinar on Wednesday 8 February 2023 hosted by Hotspotting founder Terry Ryder. They outlined the current state of key markets and how to identify the best opportunities for strategic investment in 2023.

At long last, we are seeing restrictions eased in Melbourne. A further easing was announced for 27 October and then more on 8 November. What we have observed to date suggests that Melbourne real estate markets will emerge strongly from the second lockdown and get back to business, where possible, with some enthusiasm. The data suggests that, to date, Melbourne markets have shown considerable resilience throughout the tough times of 2020. A collapse in property values was predicted by some economists and nothing like that has happened. So, as Melbourne gets back to some kind of normal, where to for the city’s property markets? To provide some answers to that general question, there’s no one better qualified than award-winning buyers agent and best-selling author Miriam Sandkuhler from Property Mavens.

Welcome Miriam.Miriam, how did you get into the advocacy business?1. What are the rules regarding price quoting in Victoria?2. Sometimes when we are at properties doing copy and photos, there is a valuer doing his report, does a property usually get a sworn valuation prior to the property being advertised?3. What is a sworn valuation? And how does it differ from a bank valuation or a market appraisal from an agent?4. Karen from Essendon recently bought a property where the price range on the statement of information was a lot more than what was originally quoted. It turned out that the property had been on the market with another agent prior to this agent who had a more realistic price on it… how come the price range on the advertising and the price range that appears on the statement of information can be different?5.

Recently Harry from Glen Waverley went to an auction where the vendor changed their reserve on auction day and the underbidder got really upset with the agent for underquoting, saying he would report him. Harry wants to know who was in the right? Would an agent be liable for underquoting if the vendor changes their reserve to a higher amount, even if they had advised their vendor that they would not get the higher amount?7. How recent do the comparable properties sold on the statement of information have to be? And why is it sometimes left blank, is that allowed?8. What happens if an agent gets an offer that is higher than the price range on the statement of information that doesn’t get accepted by the vendor? 9.
