How long does it take to sell a property?
While the overall aggregate selling period ranges from 4–6 weeks, there are many factors that can influence selling time. Factors include the location of your property; the features of your property; the wants and availability of potential buyers; the strength of the market; and the price you set for your property. On average, our customers usually sell their properties faster if they choose our Ultimate Campaign, when compared to those who select our Essentials Campaign.
How long does it take to put my property on the market?
On average, we suggest giving yourself a few days lead time from purchasing your campaign to going live on the market. This will allow time for cleaning and organising your home, arranging for professional photography if obtaining, posting your For Sale Board, planning your Open for Inspections and giving your conveyancer time to get your Contracts of Sale prepared.
How do I arrange a contract of sale?
At Buymyplace, we have partnered with the Lawlab team – Australia’s leading national conveyancing law firm – to bring you a legal solution that is not only price competitive but makes your life easier. Lawlab will legally secure your sale, save you time and delay and take the stress out of selling. Ask us how we can help you with your contract of sale.

Landing on the right price is all about being knowledgeable about your local market and there are plenty of easy, accessible ways to do your research.
A great place to start is to search for recently Sold properties similar to yours on Realestate.com.au and Domain.com.au to find out how much they have sold for in your area. You can also see how long properties were listed on the market.
