Evanston Gardens

3 bed · 2 bath · double garage

$45,000
below the highest offer, against twelve other buyers

Thirteen offers on the table and a top bid of $695,000. We identified the vendor motivations that were not solely price based, built our client’s offer around those terms, and negotiated it through to acceptance at $650,000. They paid $45,000 less than the highest bidder and still got the keys.

Huntfield Heights

Off market, never advertised

14 days
found, matched to her brief, negotiated and secured

Two years searching on a tight budget, with prices climbing further out of reach every month. We found this one off market, matched it against her brief, negotiated a price that was within her budget, and had it under contract in fourteen days. Her family is in it now, and the market has kept moving since.

Mount Barker

Off market, tenanted on settlement

4.58%
gross rental yield, against a suburb median of 4.25%

An investor wanting rental yield with growth behind it. We sourced this one off market with a tenant already in place, so the property was generating cashflow from day one. The rental yield came in at 4.58% against a suburb median of 4.25%, and the property has added $102,000 in value over the twelve months since.

Suburb vacancy rate at the time of purchase: 0.3%.

Glen Osmond

Company purchase, rented back to the owner

$1,605,000
secured from overseas without a single inspection

The client knew exactly what he wanted and the brief left little room to move. From overseas he could not inspect anything, and the time difference made agents hard to reach. We searched, appraised, negotiated and ran the due diligence. He took the keys to a property he never viewed personally.

Auction Purchase

Golden Grove

Bid at auction, secured in negotiation

$50,000
below reserve, negotiated after the auction closed without a sale

The client’s first auction, with her husband interstate and unable to be there. We bid on her behalf and the property passed in without selling, which is where the real work began. We negotiated the price and the terms afterwards and secured it at $970,000, $50,000 under the reserve.

What these six have in common

Very little on the surface. A first home buyer in the north, an investor in the hills, a company purchase in the inner east, and a buyer who has never been to South Australia. The budgets run from $578,000 to $1,605,000 and the briefs have almost nothing in common.

What is the same is the sequence. Every one started with a brief instead of a property, every one was appraised against verified comparable sales before an offer went in, and in every one the negotiating was done by someone whose fee did not move with the purchase price. Three were sourced off market, one was won after an auction passed in, and the rest came through public campaigns.

The savings are the part people notice, and they are real, but they are a by product. What produced them was knowing what each property was worth before the conversation started, and structuring the offer around what the vendor needed instead of bidding higher.

Figures shown are from each transaction at the time of purchase. Rental yields, vacancy rates and growth figures move with the market and are not a guide to future results. Past outcomes do not guarantee a similar result on any other purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Are these actual purchases?

Yes. Every property on this page was bought for a client of Your Property Strategy, and every figure shown is the figure from that transaction.

Are all of your purchases off market?

No. Three of the six here were sourced off market, and the others came through auction or a public campaign. Off market access widens what reaches you, and the right property is the right property wherever it was found.

Do you only buy in these suburbs?

No. These six happen to span the north, the south, the hills and the inner east because that is where these briefs led. We work across Adelaide and regional South Australia, and the suburb follows the brief instead of the other way around.

How long does a purchase usually take?

It varies with the brief and the market. The Huntfield Heights purchase went from brief to contract in fourteen days. Our agreements run for three months unless otherwise stated, which is the window most searches are completed inside.
