Your place in the market.2015 Q4 Marketplace Report I Alex Rutherford

Welcome to my latest report on house sales in Hamilton, Ascot and Clayfield and

for apartment sales in Spring Hill, Brisbane City, West End and Newstead. Thanks to a lengthy

tenure in real estate experience it comes as no surprise to me that the market is on the move

again. With a continually shifting base of buyer and seller sentiment, the influence of external

factors like interest rate and lending practice changes, navigating the sale or purchase of your

home is one that requires skill, knowledge, understanding and care. Which is where I step in.

To discuss how this market can work for you, call me today.

Hello.

properties sold across three suburbs

As we launch into 2016 there is a lot of talk about how the property market place is going to

change, how it is going to perform during the course of the next twelve months. While many will

look at the past results as an indication of the future one of the truest and best indicators of how

the property market is actually shaping up will be overlooked.

That indicator, that barometer for change, is buyer activity. A measure of how many buyers are

enquiring on and inspecting property. How many buyers are making offers, bidding at auction

and very tellingly how many buyers are going to contract.

Right now, activity is stronger than expected and some agents coming back from their holidays

have been caught off-guard. The fact that inspection numbers, bidder numbers and the number

of offers being made are up imbues a sense of confidence in the market and in general there is

a sentiment of optimism. All of which, should this positive outlook remain, suggests that 2016

could be a big year for our local property market.

The current market.

Craig and I couldn’t have been more

satisfied or impressed with Alex and her

team during the purchase of our new

home. They displayed the highest level

of skill, professionalism and integrity

during the entire period, from our initial

inspection to settlement.

Liz & Craig, Clayfield

Every step of the way Alex and her

team made selling my property easy.

She made recommendations I could

trust, and got me the best result I could

have ever asked for. I would highly

recommend Alex, and next time I am

buying or selling, she will be my first call!

Grenier Street I was very apprehensive about buying another home from my not so great experience

the first time around, however Alex has changed my view on how easy it is to purchase

real estate if you have a good agent! From the start to finish, Alex made purchasing

my home feel ridiculously easy and was always on hand and quick to answer any

questions I had and made the whole process feel very smooth, she is extremely

efficient and personable. Lisa, Spring Hill

Alex was extremely professional,

friendly, efficient and helpful with every

aspect in purchasing our property. It was

a pleasure dealing with Alex. I would

recommend Alex and Place Estate

Agents to anyone.

Lea-Anne, West End

Every step of the way Alex and her team

were extremely professional, friendly,

efficient and helpful with the sale of

my property. I have no hesitation in

recommending Alex and her team to my

family and friends.
