Five things to know before selling your home
Five decisions to make before selling locally: appraisal evidence, costs, preparation, viewing arrangements and the timing of your next move.
By Terrence Banks. Updated 15 September 2026.
Recent sales are a useful starting point for a property discussion when you can see exactly what sold and how it compares with your home. This update links to two recent sales recorded on our website and explains what the public evidence can tell you.
These are examples of the team’s recent activity, checked on 15 September 2026. The public pages do not display sale prices. This small selection is not a measure of suburb-wide prices, market share or a price trend. Browse the recent sales collection for more properties.
Begin with location and property type, then examine land, floor area, layout, condition, access and any features that affect use. A coastal four-bedroom home is not a direct substitute for a three-bedroom Warkworth house simply because both sold recently. Ask which differences matter and what reliable price evidence is available.
An asking price shows the seller’s advertised position. A sale price records an agreed transaction. A valuation or estimate reflects its own method and assessment date. Before relying on any market statistic, check the source, geographic area, date range, property mix and number of observations.
A useful appraisal explains the selected comparisons and the limits of the evidence. Discuss current competing listings, your preparation priorities and the proposed campaign review dates. Our selling approach includes buyer matching, follow-up and campaign reporting through NurtureCloud.
Use current listings to understand your options, then obtain property information and advice before making an offer. For specific property types, explore our lifestyle block and coastal buying guides.
