Phill Healey has sold a four-bedroom terrace at 29 Jepson Street, Mango Hill, for $1.22 million in just one day on market, with out-of-area buyers drawn by the property’s space and Capestone precinct appeal.
Phill Healey knew the property at 29 Jepson Street would move quickly — Capestone terraces rarely linger — but even he was pleased when out-of-area buyers committed after just one day on market, paying $1.22 million for the four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home.
The challenge was clear from the start: the property was tenanted, limiting inspections to private appointments only. Phill, who managed the property as a rental himself, coordinated closely with the tenants to ensure presentation quality, with the vendors offering incentives to secure their cooperation.
“The tenants definitely helped with styling and the photography was excellent,” Phill said.
With everything aligned, Phill launched the campaign immediately, running multiple letterbox drops alongside targeted social media to capitalise on the street’s reputation.
The buyer story
The buyers were from out of area but had done their homework. They knew Jepson Street’s properties moved fast and understood the Capestone precinct’s appeal — schools, shops, highway access, and a family-friendly atmosphere that northern Brisbane growth suburbs are known for.
What sealed the deal was the property’s space. At inspections, buyers commented on the overwhelming sense of room the terrace offered, a feature Phill had highlighted through quality photography despite the private-inspection constraints.
“They just loved the street and had done their market research knowing that anything in the street sells very quickly,” Phill said.
The location advantage
Mango Hill’s Capestone precinct is popular with families seeking proximity to schools, shops, restaurants, and highway access. The northern Brisbane growth suburb has a strong owner-occupier base, with just over half of properties owner-occupied, positioning it as a stable family-oriented market rather than an investor-dominated area.
Working with realistic vendors
Phill credits the vendors’ realistic approach and trust as key to the smooth process. They were comfortable letting the market dictate the price rather than chasing a figure that might slow momentum.
“They were really great to deal with. Very realistic and very trustworthy. Allowing me to take them through the process,” Phill said.
The vendors’ willingness to offer tenant incentives and back Phill’s immediate-launch strategy created the conditions for a clean, fast result.
The strategy
Phill’s game plan was built on preparation and timing. With marketing materials ready to go from day one, he could launch the moment the vendors were comfortable, ensuring maximum exposure without delay.
The let-the-market-decide pricing strategy allowed buyers to respond to the property’s value rather than being anchored to a fixed expectation, while the private-inspection model — usually a constraint — became an opportunity to showcase the home’s space and presentation quality in a controlled environment.
For a tenanted property to sell in 24 hours takes coordination, market knowledge, and vendors who trust the process. Phill delivered all three.
