Ep 79. What NSW New Price Guide Laws Really Mean for Buyers

What this episode covers

Michelle breaks down one of the biggest sources of confusion for property buyers: price guides, what they really represent, and why they often fail to reflect a property’s true selling price. She explains the recent NSW legislative changes around mandatory price guides and comparable sales, highlights the ongoing gap between advertised guides and undisclosed vendor reserves, and shares how buyer demand, seller motivation and campaign dynamics all influence the final outcome. With practical guidance on assessing comparable sales, asking the right questions, and understanding seller expectations, Michelle shows buyers how to cut through the noise, avoid wasting time on unrealistic campaigns, and approach the market with clarity, strategy and confidence.
