Don’t Sell the Golden Egg Layer

Real estate agents across the land are complaining they don’t have enough stock to meet buyer demand at the moment. This limited supply is having a positive effect on property values growing quicker than usual.

Agents are out there saying they have 10 buyers for every listing they get, especially in the established suburbs. So agents are going to be telling you there has never been a better time to sell, to get the best price outcome. However, given values have consistently grown over the past century, why would you crystallise your assets potential now. If the value goes up, you should be able to increase your rental income over time as well.

Those with no need for a huge windfall now should stay the course and benefit even more over the long term.
