The Blog

Not every sale price tells the full story. While online portals show the final result, they don’t always reveal the factors that influenced that outcome. In this blog, I take a closer look at a recent Mullumbimby sale through my experience as a buyers agent and look at a home that appeared to trade below surrounding comparables, unpacking the behind-the-scenes circumstances that affected buyer perception, competition, and ultimately price.

Buying property in the Northern Rivers involves far more than the purchase price. Stamp duty, legal and conveyancing fees, building and pest inspections, flood and planning reports, insurance premiums and thorough due diligence all add to the true cost. Understanding these upfront — and engaging trusted professionals — helps buyers avoid costly surprises and make informed, well-considered decisions before committing.
