All time highs in unthinkable market conditions
July Property News
Unprecedented times!
Real Estate sales achieve all time records for agent.
During these unprecedented times who would have imagined the Jervis Bay housing market could hit an all-time sales high. Yaz Keller sold more real estate in the months of May, June and July 2020 than ever before in her 30+ years in Real Estate Sales.
Considering the enormity of all we’ve witnessed and endured this year it has been hard to believe and difficult to digest. First came the catastrophic bushfires throughout our beautiful South Coast at the start of the year. Then the shutdown of January’s holiday season with mass evacuation of holiday-makers from the Jervis Bay area and other regions, followed by the COVID-19 lockdown, which added a third layer of unimaginable proportion.
Once restrictions were lifted for COVID-19, open houses commenced and buyers were able to travel again. Yaz explains: “I could not have imagined the surge of quality buyers who appeared. These buyers came from many parts of Sydney, Wollongong and Canberra areas.”
“Some properties had very few showings and still sold for excellent prices. Others had a record number of groups through and in a short period achieved great results that I could not have anticipated during lockdown.”
Sales ranged from $660,000 in the Woollamia area to $1.95 Million for a luxury home off-water in Vincentia. These sales included a record set for the Bayswood area of Vincentia, with a property selling for $1.2 Million.
Also achieving great results in a very short time was 6 Twyford Street, Vincentia. Positioned in a prime location on a waterfront reserve, this property generated high interest during June with more than 35 groups viewing over about a two-week period.
An excellent result followed with a sale of $1.525 Million. Gloria J. Holland, the seller of 6 Twyford Street commended Yaz on the great result,
“Thank you Yaz, for achieving a great result in such a short space of time, given the less-than-conducive atmosphere in which you had to work! Yaz went ‘over and beyond’ to ensure my mother’s home was presented in the best possible way, irrespective of the obstruction from the unauthorised person living in the home! Prior to the home being advertised on the open market, Yaz had inspections and an offer received. The home was on the open market for only nine (9) days when Yaz received the offer I was looking for!! Congratulations and Well Done Yaz, you worked your Magic very well!! Thank you!!”
This trigger reaction of many quality buyers encouraged Yaz to contact her database for similar properties. After some serious cups of coffee with a long-term client who had purchased 14 Plantation Point Parade, Vincentia, 11 years ago, Yaz quickly went into action securing a buyer with a signed contract. The seller was elated as the sale achieved over $1.5 Million with showing only one client through the property.
Yaz explains: “As I continue to see some incredible sales in July I feel privileged to sell such spectacular properties in such a beautiful area. Building my client base over the past 12 years and working with the team at Oz Combined Realty in Huskisson is the reason for these fantastic results.”
