The strategy behind the two-week timeline
Jason Watson has sold a two-bedroom house at 45 Cotterill Avenue, Bongaree for $780,000 via private treaty, going under contract within two weeks through a targeted campaign that prioritised pre-market engagement and strategic database work.
The fortnight timeline wasn’t luck — it was the plan. Jason and the vendors agreed upfront that speed mattered, so the campaign opened with a pre-market inspection before the listing went live, allowing early interested buyers to assess the property and provide feedback.
“We had a process in place aiming to have a contract within the two-week timeframe for the sellers,” Jason said.
That process included activating buyers from other properties Jason was marketing, funnelling them into open homes to maximise attendance. The result: four inspections across the fortnight, each one delivering qualified buyer engagement rather than passive browsing.
What buyers noticed
The two-bedroom house on 531 square metres drew attention for features that aren’t visible on a portal listing — “Walking distance to shops and beaches, and generous bedroom sizes for a two-bedroom property,” Jason said, summarising the feedback from inspections.
Those details mattered to the eventual buyers, an out-of-area couple looking for a coastal sea change. Their offer came with a condition: the sale was subject to settlement of their own property, a scenario that can introduce uncertainty into the timeline.
Jason and the vendors navigated it smoothly, maintaining communication and process discipline until settlement.
The Bongaree market
Bongaree sits on the southern end of Bribie Island, a relaxed coastal pocket known for walkable access to local shops, beaches and parks. The suburb’s appeal centres on low-key lifestyle amenity rather than prestige — buyers are typically drawn by proximity to the waterfront and everyday convenience, positioning it as a sea change destination for downsizers and relocators from Brisbane and surrounding regions.
What it means for other vendors
Jason’s advice for another Bongaree property owner listing tomorrow is straightforward: the same process that delivered this result would apply again.
The vendors were satisfied with both the price and the timeline, moving forward with confidence that the campaign had delivered exactly what was promised.
