GOT ONE? — Seller Guide

How to Sell My
House in Australia

A practical, step-by-step guide to preparing, pricing and selling a house in Australia — and finding the right buyer faster.

House prices in Australia

How to sell a House in Australia

01

Identify your buyer profile

A 4-bedroom family home targets a different buyer than a 2-bedroom downsizer. Understanding your buyer helps you target the right listing platform and frame the right features.

02

Maximise street appeal

Fresh gardens, clean facade, clear gutters and a pressure-washed driveway significantly improve first impressions and buyer confidence before inspection.

03

Post on GOT ONE? to reach motivated buyers

Buyers on GOT ONE? post exactly what suburb, bedroom count and budget they're working with. Respond to buyers who are already looking in your area.

04

Prepare your legal documents early

Engage a conveyancer before you list. Having a contract of sale ready means you can move quickly when the right buyer appears.

05

Negotiate and exchange with confidence

With a pre-arranged contract and conveyancer, you can exchange with a minimal cooling-off period for qualified, motivated buyers.

What separates a fast sale from a long wait

  • Be specific: 3 bedrooms vs 4 bedrooms is a completely different buyer pool
  • State land size in square metres — buyers with granny flat plans have minimum lot requirements
  • Include the orientation of the main living area and outdoor space
  • Renovation detail matters: specify kitchen and bathroom year if recently updated

Common questions from House sellers

GOT ONE? lets buyer-side purchasers post exactly what house they want — suburb, bedrooms, land size, budget. You can respond directly to verified buyers without paying an agent commission.
Kitchen and bathroom updates consistently deliver the highest return on investment. Fresh paint and landscaping improve first impressions. North-facing orientation, school catchment and land size are location factors you cannot change but should highlight.
The main residence exemption typically eliminates CGT on your primary home. If the property has been rented or only partially used as your primary residence, partial CGT may apply. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
