How to Use Our Data on Top Selling Suburbs: Expert Guide
When it comes to making smart property decisions, data is your best friend. Here’s how to use Soho’s data report effectively:
- What to Look For: Focus on suburbs with the highest sales volumes. High demand often indicates a desirable location, whether due to amenities, schools, transport links, or lifestyle factors.
- How It Helps: If you’re a buyer, targeting these areas can mean a solid investment with good potential for future growth. For sellers, knowing your suburb is in high demand allows you to price your property competitively and attract serious buyers.
2. Understand Price Trends
- What to Look For: Examine the average sale prices in top-selling suburbs. Are prices trending up or stabilising?
- How It Helps: Investors can use this data to gauge the potential return on investment. If you’re a buyer, understanding price trends can help you time your purchase to get the best value. Sellers can use this information to set realistic expectations and pricing strategies.
3. Spot Emerging Markets
- What to Look For: Look for suburbs that have recently joined the ranks of top sellers but weren’t on the list before. You can also explore Soho’s round up on the suburbs where house prices are dropping.
- How It Helps: These emerging markets could be the next big thing. As an investor or buyer, getting in early on a rising suburb can offer significant long-term gains. Sellers in these areas might benefit from the early buzz and increased buyer interest.
4. Assess Market Stability
- What to Look For: Consistency in sales volume across multiple months can indicate market stability.
- How It Helps: Stable markets are often less risky for both buyers and investors. If you’re looking for long-term growth or a steady rental income, focusing on these areas can be a smart move.
5. Compare Across States
- What to Look For: Don’t just focus on your local market—compare top-selling suburbs across different states.
- How It Helps: If you’re an investor, this broader perspective can help you diversify your portfolio. Buyers moving interstate can use this comparison to find similar value and amenities in their new location.
6. Timing Your Decision
- What to Look For: Seasonal trends and fluctuations in sales volumes.
- How It Helps: Certain times of the year might be better for buying or selling. Understanding these patterns can help you time your move to take advantage of peak selling or buying periods.
