Alyssa Hayden secured $915,000 for a four-bedroom house on 1,007 square metres in Byford after her buyers fell in love with the tranquil foothills setting and sense of community.
Alyssa Hayden knew she had the right buyers the moment they walked through the door at 13 North Crescent.
“The minute they walked into the property, I knew the buyers were the ones for this home,” Alyssa said.
“They loved every detail, and they were already planning how they were going to move in and make it better and make it their own. So I knew that they were going to be the ones that would make a nice, smooth, simple sale for my sellers.”
That instinct proved accurate. The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 1,007 square metres sold for $915,000 via private treaty after 33 days on market, exceeding the area’s median for four-bedroom houses.
The buyers who felt at home
The successful buyers were new to Perth, searching for a property that would give them both the space and the community connection they were looking for.
“They were out of the area, and new to Perth, and they were looking for something that resembled home and also amongst a community that they were comfortable with,” Alyssa said.
While multiple offers came forward, this couple stood out not just for their financial position and ability to move quickly, but for their genuine connection to the property.
“Their love for the property was important to the seller, but also their financial position and that they were able to move quickly supported their offer,” Alyssa said.
Marketing the lifestyle, not just the land
Alyssa’s campaign focused on what makes Old Byford special — the tranquil foothills setting, the generous land size, and the lifestyle buyers were actually searching for.
“It’s all about the wording in your advert online and showcasing the property with great photos,” she said.
The marketing featured the property’s gorgeous backyard, showcasing what 1,007 square metres can offer a family, and highlighted the sought-after Old Byford foothills location.
At inspections, buyers responded exactly as Alyssa anticipated — commenting on the land size, the peace and quiet, and the foothills views that created a tranquil setting to come home to after work.
What’s moving the market
Old Byford sits in Perth’s south-eastern foothills, about 33 kilometres from the CBD, where semi-rural character meets family-friendly infrastructure. The area appeals to buyers seeking space and tranquillity while retaining access to schools, parks, and improving transport links via Tonkin Highway and Kwinana Freeway.
Alyssa sees clear patterns in what today’s buyers are prioritising.
“Buyers are looking for a sense of space. They’re looking for a home to go to, to relax and get away from the busy lifestyle of work and city life living,” she said.
“And if the property is presented at a good level, and there is no work for them to do, it’ll be an easy sell on the market.”
For sellers in Old Byford considering their next move, Alyssa’s advice is clear.
“They are sitting on a special piece of paradise, and one that’s highly sought after. We just need to find the right buyer to match their property, and we’ll always achieve a great result,” she said.
The sellers were thrilled the property went to buyers who would cherish it as much as they had — exactly the outcome Alyssa had predicted from that first inspection.
