The result
$???,???
Pre-auction offer, unconditional.
That gave the owners certainty as well as price, and it was one of the highest results that year for a home of this layout in Amaroo. It is also one of 5 homes we sold in Amaroo over a 12 month period, ranging from $690,000 to $1.66 million, so we know this market and what buyers here are looking for.
The takeaway
Prepare. Then compete.
The money spent on preparation is usually the best money a seller spends. Paint, carpet, a clean-up and styling cost a fraction of what they add in buyer competition.

Questions sellers ask us
Is it worth painting and re-carpeting before selling in Amaroo?
Often, yes. At 43 Magenta Square, minor improvements plus styling helped draw 14 groups to the first open home and several pre-auction offers within 8 days.
What is a pre-auction offer?
An offer made before auction day. If it is strong enough and on the right terms, the seller can accept it and sell early, as these owners did, unconditionally.
How long does it take to sell in Amaroo?
It depends on the home and the price. A well-prepared family home that is priced and marketed correctly can sell quickly; this one took 8 days.
What do buyers in Amaroo look for?
Families are a big part of the market. A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a double garage is a popular entry point into the suburb.

Hi, Steve Lowe here from Agent Team Real Estate and today I wanted to share the successful sale of 43 Magenta Square in Amaroo. This was a fantastic 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a double garage offering the perfect entry point into one of Canberra's most popular family suburbs. Before bringing the property to market, we worked closely with the owners on a clear preparation plan.
This included some minor improvements such as fresh paint and new carpet, a thorough house and yard cleanup and professional property styling to ensure the home presented at its absolute best. Combined with quality marketing and an experienced sale strategy, the results were outstanding. The property attracted a huge amount of interest from the very beginning, with 14 groups attending the very first open home.
We quickly had multiple buyers competing for the property and several pre-option offers were submitted. As the campaign progressed, one buyer separated themselves from the pack, allowing us to negotiate a fantastic result for our sellers. After just 8 days on the market, we secured a sale price of $???,??? under favorable pre-option conditions and completely unconditional, giving the owners certainty and an excellent outcome.
The result was one of the highest sale prices achieved this year for a home of this particular layout in Amaroo. We have now sold 5 homes in Amaroo in the past 12 months with prices ranging from $690,000 right through to $1.66 million, giving us a strong understanding of the local market and what buyers are looking for. If you live in Amaroo and have been thinking about selling, feel free to get in touch through a quick chat.
