Anne and Vincent relocated from Darwin and were working at a college on the north side of Brisbane. When we first started, the brief was fairly straightforward. They were looking for a standard home on at least a 700 sqm block within a comfortable distance to work.
After presenting a number of options, it became clear their preferences were shifting. Every time we inspected larger properties, particularly acreage, their excitement grew. The challenge was that acreage living typically sat well beyond their budget, making it seem out of reach.
That changed when a rare opportunity presented itself.
We identified a property just 10 minutes from work, positioned on an elevated 9,000 sqm block. Not only did it offer the space and lifestyle they were drawn to, but it was also priced significantly below their budget, sitting approximately $600,000 to $700,000 under their limit.
The home had been held by a single owner for a long time and would require some renovation. However, that was where the opportunity lay. Renovated properties in the surrounding area are achieving close to $1 million more than what we secured this property for.
We moved quickly and secured the property, giving Anne and Vincent the chance to enter the acreage market in a prime location, well below budget. They now have the flexibility to renovate over time and add significant value as they go.
A fantastic outcome and an exciting new chapter for them both.
