How Interest Rates Affect Property Investment Strategies
Interest rates are the invisible hand that shapes every property investment decision you make. Whether you're building your first...
It’s time to make an offer on a property you like.
But how much do you offer?
Domain.com.au tracks the percentage difference between the asking price and the sale price. This is called discounting, and worth looking at.
Suburb Reports show discounting by suburb and time on the market.
If the discounting comes in at 0%, it’s a seller’s market and the prices are moving up and they are likely to get the price they are asking. But if it’s 8%, there’s room to negotiate.
If you see 8%, go in with an offer that’s 10% to 12% lower than the asking price.
Your offer may be accepted if the seller’s motivated. But you have wiggle room to negotiate up to an 8% discount.
That’s the number you expected anyway.
Of course, all the other numbers have to add up.
