⏳ The Real Cost of Waiting: Why Now Could Be the Time to Buy or Sell

Thinking of buying or selling but wondering if you should wait a little longer? You're not alone. It's a common question we hear — but here’s the truth: waiting can sometimes cost you more than you think. Let’s break it down.

📈 For Sellers: Less Competition = More Power

Right now, stock levels on the Capricorn Coast are low, which means:

  • Fewer homes for buyers to choose from

  • More attention on your property

  • Greater urgency and competition

  • Stronger sale prices

Waiting to sell could mean listing in a more crowded market down the track. If you're thinking of selling in the next 6–12 months, getting ahead of the Spring rush could give you the edge.

💰 For Buyers: Delaying Can Mean Paying More

Prices on the Capricorn Coast have remained stable — but as population growth continues and interest rates start to settle, we’re already seeing an increase in buyer enquiry and competition. Here’s what waiting could cost you:

  • A jump in prices by the time you're ready

  • Missing out on your dream home

  • Paying more in rent while you wait

  • Reduced borrowing power if lending policies tighten

In short: buying sooner rather than later could save you thousands, especially with the right strategy in place.
