How Many Properties Should You View Before Buying?
When you’re buying a property, especially in Sydney’s competitive market, a question that comes up often is: “How many properties should I view before making a decision?”. It’s understandable - buying a home is a huge investment, and you want to make sure you’ve seen enough to make the right choice.
But here’s the thing: You don’t have to spend your weekends trudging through countless open homes. At The Acquiry, we take care of all the viewings for you. Our team of expert buyer’s agents does the legwork, ensuring you’re only presented with properties that fit your criteria and budget. Let’s dive into why that matters and how it can help you secure the right property without wasting time.
The Average Buyer’s Journey
In Australia, the typical buyer inspects around 11 properties before making a purchase. But is that the magic number? The truth is, everyone’s journey is different. Some buyers might find the perfect home after just a few inspections, while others might need to explore dozens of properties to feel confident in their decision.
“At The Acquiry, we aim to make the process as efficient and stress-free as possible.”
Instead of dragging you through property after property, we take the time to understand your needs, inspect properties on your behalf, and only bring you the best options. You can rest easy knowing we’re doing the groundwork to find the right home for you.
Why Relying on Online Listings Isn’t Enough
Scrolling through online property listings is a great way to get a feel for the market, but photos and descriptions don’t always tell the full story. Properties can look great online but disappoint in person - or surprise you by being much better than expected.
That’s where we come in. As your buyer’s agent, we personally inspect every property that meets your criteria, saving you from the hassle of attending countless open homes. By the time you see a property, it’s been handpicked as a real contender, ensuring you don’t waste time on listings that don’t fit your needs.
Why Viewing More Properties Can Be Beneficial
As your buyer’s agent, we believe in casting a wide net. By viewing a wide range of properties on your behalf, we gain a comprehensive understanding of the market, giving us the ability to identify value and avoid overpaying. Here’s what this approach brings to the table:
Market Insight: The more properties we view, the better we understand what’s a fair price and where you can get the most value for your budget.
Avoiding Compromise: We don’t want you to settle. Our job is to keep searching until we find a property that ticks as many of your boxes as possible.
Strategic Advantage: By viewing a variety of properties, we’re able to act quickly when the perfect one comes up, giving you the best chance to secure it in a fast-moving market.
The Acquiry Advantage: Let Us Do the Hard Work
We know Sydney’s property market moves fast, and you don’t always have the time to attend every inspection. That’s why we do the work for you. At The Acquiry, we typically inspect 30 or more properties per client. This means by the time you see a property, you can feel confident that it’s been thoroughly vetted by us and is worth your time.
And because we know the ins and outs of the market, we’re in the best position to negotiate the right price and terms on your behalf. It’s not just about finding a property - it’s about finding the right property and securing it for you.
When It’s Time to Act
There’s a balance between seeing enough properties to make a smart decision and knowing when to act quickly in a competitive market. The beauty of working with The Acquiry is that we handle both. We make sure you’ve seen enough options to feel confident, and when the right property comes up, we’re ready to help you act decisively to secure it.
