The $200K + Hesitation 🔥
I’ve seen it too many times.
A buyer finds the right property. Checks every box. Location âś… Numbers âś… Lifestyle âś…
But then… they pause.
❌ “Let’s wait and see what happens.”
❌ “Maybe the market will cool.”
❌ “We’ll think about it over the weekend.”
Fast forward 12 months… and the same property type in the same suburb is selling for $200K more.
That hesitation just became the most expensive decision they ever made.
đź’ˇ Why It Happens
It’s not that buyers aren’t smart — it’s human nature.
-
Fear of making the wrong choice.
-
Too many voices in their ear (friends, family, media).
-
Agents adding pressure instead of clarity.
And while they hesitate… the market doesn’t.
Sydney doesn’t wait for anyone.
📊 The Real Cost of Waiting
-
Property worth $2.5M today
-
Market moves 10% in 12 months
-
Next year, you’re paying $2.7M for the same thing
That’s $200K+ gone —
…not counting stamp duty
…not counting extra repayments
…not counting the lost equity you could’ve been building
âś… The Lesson
Buying property isn’t about rushing.
It’s about moving with clarity.
If the numbers stack up and it’s an A-grade property — hesitation can cost far more than action ever will.
👉 In this market, the real risk isn’t buying.
The real risk is waiting too long to buy.
