A NOTE
FROM
IAN
It’s been a real flurry of activity lately — and I’m incredibly grateful. In recent months,
we’ve seen a noticeable uptick in buyer energy, multiple offers, and quicker
turnarounds on quality homes. It’s kept me very busy — and I wouldn't have it any other
way.
The truth is, I’ve never been more focused or committed than I am right now. With over
23 years in the industry and more than $700M in personal sales, I’ve stepped fully into
a new season — one grounded in experience, faith, and the results to back it up.
We are desperately short of stock, and the Spring selling season is just around the
corner. If you're considering selling, August is the perfect time to reach out. We can
begin preparing your home now — so you're ready to shine when the peak buyer wave
hits in September and October.
Let’s talk timing, strategy, and how we can position your property to stand out in this
competitive market.
Let my experience and integrity work for you.

After over two decades in real estate, something deeper has
shifted in me. I’ve walked through many seasons — business
highs and lows, personal victories and struggles — but today, I
walk with renewed purpose, guided by a stronger foundation.
Recently, I made a public declaration of my faith. For those who
know me, this might not be surprising — but for many, it may be
new. I’ve come to understand that my success, my values, and
even the way I show up for clients all stem from something
greater than me. I am first and foremost a man of faith, and
everything I do now flows from that truth.
It’s not about religion. It’s about integrity.
About doing clean business. About
walking in truth. And yes — about
being a Good Man in Christ,
not just a good agent.
So, this isn’t just a new edition of the
magazine. It’s the beginning of a new
chapter — professionally and personally.
If that message resonates with you, I’d be honored to serve you.

What to
Watch
Supply constraints: The number of new
homes being completed is not keeping up
with demand. This pushes up prices,
especially in well-connected suburbs.
Interstate migration: Perth has been
benefiting from people moving from more
expensive eastern states. This adds
demand to housing and rentals.
Rental demand strong: Low vacancies +
high demand are supporting higher rents,
particularly for units and smaller homes.
Yields are falling moderately as purchase
prices rise more quickly than rents. So
while rental yields are still comparatively
good, the margins are narrowing.
Economic context: Interest rate cuts have
started to feed into the market, making
borrowing a bit more affordable, which
helps buyers, but affordability remains a
concern.
Moderated growth: Price increases will
likely continue, but at lower rates than in
the recent past. Forecasts often cite 5-10%
growth for houses.
Suburb divergence: Premium suburbs
(coastal, riverside, inner city) are pushing
median prices very high; growth in outer
and more affordable suburbs likely to
remain strong due to cost of entry.
From its striking modern façade to its intelligent floorplan, this
modern tri-level residence is a masterclass in design, light, and
liveability.
Positioned opposite leafy parklands and within walking distance to
Westfield Booragoon and Applecross Senior High School, it offers
both sophistication and everyday convenience.
Step inside and be welcomed by soaring ceilings, expansive glass,
and sun-drenched interiors that connect seamlessly to the outdoors.
Every detail has been carefully considered to maximise space and
harness the northern aspect.
The heart of the home features a sleek Caesarstone kitchen with
premium European appliances, flowing effortlessly into open-plan
living and dining. Triple-stacker glass doors open onto a large
entertainer’s balcony, perfect for gatherings or quiet moments
overlooking the treetops.

Researching
The Comp’s
Comparative
Market
Analysis
One of the most important preparation tasks when selling your home
is researching what price to set. You can’t just pick a figure out of the
air and hope for the best. You need to research what is called
comparables.
We use sophisticated software along with detailed local knowledge to
provide you what is called a “Comparative Market Analysis” (CMA).
What is a CMA?
CMA is short for “Comparative Market Analysis” – It is a detailed report
comparing a home to other similar homes in the same area that assists in
ascertaining a fair market value for a home.
Producing an effective CMA is far more than simply running the numbers
on an automated program. By far the most important ingredient is our
“local knowledge”.
Research Properties in your neighbourhood that are comparable to your
property, & have recently sold. It is important to compare with actual sold
properties. Not with list prices. Properties are only worth what people are
willing to pay.
Comps must also be comparable to yours in:
Position (as close as possible)
Style, Age, Condition, Internal size , Rooms, bathrooms etc
Land size, Gardens, Parking
Date of sale (the more recent the better)
Obviously no two properties are identical, your agent will make
adjustments for the differences between the sold properties and your
property.
The CMA you receive from your agent should (at a minimum) include
The addresses of the comparable properties
Sold prices of each comparable property
Sold date of each comparable property
Land size
A photo and style of each property
The total square meterage of each home
The dollar amount per square metre
Number of bedrooms, baths, and garages
The final price calculated for your home also needs to take into account
its unique features, local inventory, interest rates and how competitive
the market is at the time.
Much more weighting needs to be given to “Sold” properties over “Listed”
properties. Listing prices only an indication of what the seller would like
the property to sell for. This is not always reflective of the true value.
If your home is unique and very different, so much so that there are no
real comparable properties, you may be best to have an independent
professional valuer provide you a valuation.
