Spring selling season is almost here, and for anyone preparing a property for market, creating a little extra space can make a surprisingly big difference. Decluttering before photography and home opens, clearing furniture for styling or simply storing belongings while moving between properties can all help make the process easier and allow your home to present at its best.
As REIWA members, we can also help our clients access an exclusive 10% discount on monthly storage with Mobistorage. They deliver a secure storage unit, available in various sizes, directly to your property, so you can pack at your own pace before either keeping it onsite or having it collected and stored securely for you.
To receive the discount, simply quote REIWA26 when booking and mention us – Mark or Shelley Clayton and Shelmark Real Estate – as your referring agent and agency.
If you’re thinking about selling this spring, it could be a very handy way to make preparing your home for market that little bit simpler. And of course, even if you're only thinking about selling, we encourage you to get in touch with us for an obligation-free current market appraisal of your property so you know where you stand.
This week
- Demand for units on the rise nationally
- Should you buy or sell first?
- Property investor activity begins to shift post-budget
- How humanoid robots could change the future of home design
- This week’s market snapshot

Demand for units on the rise nationally
|
As housing affordability becomes more challenging, more buyers are turning to units as a comparatively affordable way to enter sought-after markets. Nationally, unit prices have now outpaced house price growth, with search activity also pointing to rising buyer interest. Perth is part of that trend, with unit values in areas including South Perth, Cottesloe–Claremont and Belmont–Victoria Park recording notably stronger annual growth than houses. This article looks at what is driving the shift and why units could continue to attract greater demand if borrowing capacity comes under further pressure.

Should you buy or sell first?
|
It’s one of the oldest property dilemmas, but the right answer is not always as obvious as it seems. Whether it makes sense to buy your next home before selling your current one depends on far more than the market alone, with your financial position, mortgage, life stage and appetite for risk all playing a part. This article looks at the pros and cons for different types of buyers and explains why the best strategy may be quite different from what you initially expect.

Property investor activity begins to shift post-budget
|
Investor activity has eased since the Federal Budget, but the change is not simply a case of investors leaving the market. New lending data shows fewer investor loans overall, while borrowing for newly built homes has increased, suggesting some demand is shifting away from established properties and towards new housing. This article looks at what may be driving the change, how closely it aligns with the Government’s policy objectives and why the longer-term impact on housing supply will be important to watch.

How humanoid robots could change the future of home design
|
We’ve seen home design evolve around everything from washing machines to home offices, but could the next big shift be making room for a robot? As humanoid technology moves closer to everyday use, designers are beginning to consider where these machines might live, recharge and interact with the rest of the household. From dedicated storage and smart-home control centres to the possibility of an extra seat at the dinner table, this fascinating article explores how our homes may need to adapt to a very different kind of housemate.

Seller of house in Cockburn Central, WA
"Wow what a team are Shelley and Mark!
They did a fantastic job of preparing our house in Ridge Road, Jandakot for sale in record time. We had total faith in all their advice during this time. This is the second house in the last eighteen months that we have entrusted them to sell and we would not go with anyone else.
Many, many thanks".
