Why Brisbane Buyers Keep Losing at Auctions

The Property Nerds

In this episode of The Property Nerds, Arjun is joined by Avi Khan, Principal at Ray White AKG, to unpack the shifting dynamics of Brisbane’s property market. Once a Sydney and Melbourne trend, auctions are now reshaping how buyers and sellers operate in Brisbane, driven by consumer demand and surprising results on the auction floor.

Avi reveals why written offers always trump verbal ones, the common mistakes buyers make, and how sellers can successfully navigate challenges like selling with tenants. They also cover strategies for competing in a low stock environment, why timing is everything, and how buyer’s agents have evolved from off market deal finders to competition navigators.
