How to Attract Multigenerational Buyers — and Maximise Your Property’s Family Appeal in 2025

Published by Norton’s Real Estate – Family-Focused Property Specialists in Sunnybank Hills

🏘️ Why Dual-Living Homes Are in Demand in Sunnybank Hills

Sunnybank Hills has long been a family-focused suburb with a proud multicultural community, excellent schooling, and generous block sizes.

In 2025, demand has surged for dual-living homes — houses with layouts that accommodate:

• Grandparents or elderly parents

• Adult children still living at home

• Siblings co-buying

• Combined families under one roof

• Live-in + rentable configurations

💡 These buyers aren't just looking for bigger homes — they're looking for smarter homes that support connected, flexible living.

📊 The Sunnybank Hills Property Market – Snapshot 2025

There are currently 69 homes for sale and 74 homes for rent in Sunnybank Hills.
Buyers are actively searching for homes with two kitchens, two living zones, or internal separation potential.

👨‍👩‍👧 Who Buys Dual-Living Homes in Sunnybank Hills?

🎯 In Sunnybank Hills, dual-living is not a niche — it’s a growing, mainstream buyer priority.

🏡 Common Dual-Living Layouts That Sell Best

We help sellers identify the best parts of their layout and bring those forward — even when the dual-living setup isn’t obvious at first glance.

🧭 How Norton’s Markets Dual-Living Homes

We don’t market your property like a standard 4-bedroom home.
We speak directly to the buyers who want exactly what you have.

Our campaigns include:

• 📐 Floorplans that show each zone clearly

• 📸 Photography that highlights lifestyle and separation

• 📝 Copywriting that speaks to culture, connection, and flexibility

• 🌍 Multilingual marketing tools (on request)

• 💼 Buyer guides that explain potential rental + live-in splits

• 📄 Legal preparation checklists (Form 1, tenancy notices, granny flat permissions)

• 🤝 Private inspections for serious family decision-makers

💬 What Buyers Say During Inspections

“Can mum have her own kitchen here?”
“We’ll live upstairs and rent downstairs until we need it.”
“This would work for our whole family — finally!”
“Can we legally separate the areas and still live together?”

Buyers aren’t just walking through.
They’re imagining daily routines, future needs, ageing-in-place, and teenage independence.

We know how to turn those thoughts into offers.

📄 Seller Tips: Legal Preparation for Dual-Living Sales

Selling a dual-living property can raise unique legal and compliance issues.

We guide sellers through:

📄 Clarifying approvals for granny flats or secondary dwellings
📄 Preparing Form 1 and Form 6 (if tenanted or dual-income)
📄 Ensuring accurate Floor Area declarations
📄 If needed, identifying Form 2 or Form 33 (Body Corporate if strata titled)

💬 Don’t worry if you’re not sure what applies — Norton’s takes care of the preparation and guidance.

🛋️ Emotional Sensitivity in Multi-Gen Sales

Many dual-living homes in Sunnybank Hills have been held for 10+ years.
That means families are navigating:

• Letting go of childhood homes

• Selling after the passing of a loved one

• Transitioning elderly parents into care

• Negotiating with siblings or extended family

Norton’s is skilled at balancing emotion with strategy.
We provide the calm, clear guidance needed to honour the past while focusing on the next chapter.

💡 Lifestyle Messaging That Attracts the Right Buyers

Here’s how we market your home’s dual-living appeal:

“Two generations, one home — without stepping on each other’s toes.”
“Your family. One property. Two fully equipped spaces.”
“Live together, grow independently. Dual living done right.”
“Connected living with total privacy.”

💰 Pricing Strategy for Dual-Living Homes

We don’t just price your home based on bedrooms and bathrooms.

We assess:

• 💰 Current dual-living sales in your street

• 💰 Income potential (rental appraisal)

• 💰 Size and function of second space

• 💰 Flexibility of conversion or modification

• 💰 Land size, zoning, and resale demand

Then we price with a dual-market strategy:

1. Lifestyle buyers (owner-occupiers)

2. Hybrid investors (live-in + rent)

3. Yield-focused buyers (2-rent potential)
