Tasmania has a population of approximately half a million people, with the majority living in Hobart, Launceston, Devonport, Burnie and Ulverstone.
Historically, there has been very little immigration to the state. The older population demographic has had an impact on the property market. Unlike some mainland states where the market is either flat or slowly cooling, median prices for houses and units in Tasmania are moving upwards at a gradual and steady pace.
Tasmania has some of the highest agent commission rates in the country. There are more than 500 real estate agents across Tasmania where the average commission charged is 2.78%. Although price is important, markets differ greatly depending on where you are in Tasmania, so it's as important to find an agent with a good knowledge of local conditions as it is to find one with low commission rates.
the agent must show a strong history of successful property sales, particularly in the last 12 months.
as well as the agent, you need to look at the agency they belong to, and whether the agency has a good track record of sales in your area.
it's imperative they have a thorough understanding of the local market. This includes average house prices, current demand, buyer demographics, and average turnaround times.
this can differ between agents, so you need to choose an agent who has a strategy in tune with your own way of thinking about your property
if the agent has sold properties similar to yours, they will have a much better idea of how to market and sell your property successfully.
if the agent isn't quietly confident in what they do, they're not likely to inspire confidence in potential buyers either.
there's no better recommendation than a satisfied customer, so they need to have genuine testimonials from previous clients (such as those available on roomr).
real estate is about people, so they need to be a people person, able to engage with and relate to potential buyers on their own level.
