Settlement timing seals premium Grasmere home sale

Gilbert + Younan principal secures strong pre-auction result through buyer-focused negotiation

A five-bedroom luxury home at 9 Yewens Circuit in Grasmere has sold after 20 days on the market, with Anna Younan securing a pre-auction outcome through strategic buyer engagement.

The campaign attracted 10 inspections through a combination of weekend open houses and private appointments, with the property marketed through an auction campaign using no advertised price.

Understanding buyer motivation

The interstate buyers were relocating and evaluating multiple properties, but required a specific settlement date of 19 December to align with their move.

“The buyers themselves were in the market and had the opportunity to secure more than one home,” Anna said.

“One of the very important features of their offer was having the opportunity to settle on the 19th of December – a short settlement,” Anna said.

Strategic vendor positioning

Anna’s approach focused on the property’s inherent appeal as a significant family home with four bathrooms and three-car garage accommodation.

“The home itself was a significant home. It was the drawcard to the buyers, and the owners, understanding the nature of the offer, were happy to accept that for and on behalf of the buyers,” she said.

The result came from aligning buyer motivation with the vendors’ flexibility, showing that competitive tension isn’t always required for a strong outcome.

Anna’s campaign strategy – quality inspections over volume, combined with a clear understanding of both parties’ timing – resulted in vendors who were “very happy and appreciative” of the outcome.
