The number of buyers actively looking to purchase a home in Brisbane’s inner-western suburbs in 2021, has risen to record levels.

In almost 20 years of working in real estate, we have never seen buyer activity as high as it currently is. Open home numbers are upwards of 50+ attendees and properties are selling in less than a week.

Buyers are eager to see properties before the first open home, as they know they will be joined by a queue of 60+ other house hunters. They are often prepared to make an immediate decision on the property, for fear of missing out on yet another home.

In this market, it is not uncommon to have multiple offers presented to our sellers within the first few days of the home being launched to the market.

Here is what we are seeing in the property market right now.

Brisbane’s housing shortage

This exceptional level of buyer activity is being spurred on by a lack of homes for sale in the area.

Four years ago, we were beginning to see a shortage of housing supply in Brisbane’s inner-western suburbs. However in 2021, this has become even more apparent.

More than ever, buyers are actively reaching out to our agency to see if a suitable home might be coming on the market for sale. This behaviour certainly supports that demand from buyers is definitely outweighing the supply of homes.

If you had been thinking about selling in 2021, now is the time to take advantage of the record number of buyers in the market.
