A New Decade in Real Estate
Happy New Year from us and from our team at Innovation Real Estate in Jamboree Heights. We are looking forward to another great decade in real estate in Brisbane. It has been a difficult time for many experiencing the fires around Australia but at the same time heartening to see the level of support out there. Not just in Australia but globally the support for firefighters, NFP agencies and those who are leading the recovery has been incredible. We wish them all the best in the coming months.
The Weekend in Real Estate
Happy to report another good weekend in real estate with lots of activity. We had a new listing and sale to a couple purchasing for a family member. They had been looking for 5 years and we’d been in touch throughout that time. This weekend was the winner for our seller when their low set 4 bedroom home was a perfect fit for our patient buyers. Winter is a great time to be in the real estate market. beautiful blue skies and buyers are out an about enjoying house-hunting.
Drought Relief
Our farmers are doing it tough so we’ve decided to help out by donating $1000 to the drought relief for every listing we get. If you would like to work with a local 4074 agent and help our farmers at the same time head over to our enquiry form and get in touch.

Living in the Western Suburbs of Brisbane
Living in the western suburbs is great because…
- Lots of parks (check out Rocks Riverside at Seventeen Miles Rocks and Birkin Road park at Bellbowrie)
- Sporting fields and pools
- Leafy outlooks with lots of mature trees
- Low crime rates
- Thriving community Facebook group (look up the 4074 Community and Beyond page)
- Plenty of community events and activities to choose from
- Well connected bike paths
- Skate park
- A number of retail shopping centres
- Lots of schools to choose from
- Family focus
The western suburbs are a well established and well-served group of suburbs ideal for families.
Selling your home in Winter
Selling your home in winter has it’s perks.
Weather
Whilst the morning start on the weekend might be a little nippy due to the cold in winter, it’s a good time for getting out to look at potential homes for sale. No chance of a tropical shower and you won’t have to worry about the afternoon heat (in fact you’ll look forward to it!).
Photography
Particularly in the western suburbs of Brisbane there are amazing photo opportunities with these gorgeous sunsets if it’s cloudy and crisp, clear blue skies during the day which make real estate photos look gorgeous.
Landscaping
It’s true lawns can look a little dry in winter so remember to get a some water on your lawns and hedges. They will green up pretty quickly if you start a couple of weeks before selling time.
Less competition
Due to the popularity of selling in Spring and Summer, you are likely to face far less competition in these colder months. The idea that you will do better in Spring when competition is at its peak is not necessarily true as any real estate agent will tell you. When the right buyer meets the right home and the negotiation is handled expertly, you will get your best outcome in any season. Real estate marketing is all about getting attention for your home and this can be achieved in any market with the right agent.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
The team took some time out recently to celebrate another successful year in real estate. This year saw the launch of our new brand ‘Innovation Real Estate’ and ‘Innovation Rentals’ plus our welcome move from Jindalee to new premises at Jamboree Heights. We now take time to reflect on a fantastic year. We thank each and every one of our team including contractors, vendors, landlords, tenants and everyone who has become part of the Innovation Real Estate journey in 2017. We wish you much joy and happiness over the holidays. We look forward to more exciting times in 2018. Our office is open throughout this time except for the public holidays and Christmas Eve.

Three Birds Renovation Series
Have you seen this new ‘Three Birds Renovation’ TV series sponsored by realestate.com.au. Some great inspiration for renovation from these ladies who are super organised and manage to renovate a home in just 9 weeks flat. Some great inspiration for anyone thinking about maximising the value of their home for a future sale. Whether you do or don’t like the styling or might not be up for the sheer scale of these reno’s there’s still something to be learned from the process and little details that add up to a more valuable outcome.
