Attracting First-Home Buyers in a Value-Driven Market
Published by Norton’s Real Estate – Selling Agents for Owner-Occupied and Entry-Level Homes on the Gold Coast
🟡 Pacific Pines: A Suburb Where First-Time Buyers Still Have a Chance
In 2025, suburbs like Pacific Pines are rare.
They offer:
Established infrastructure
Green space and family appeal
Proximity to schools, shops and the M1
Affordable homes without the “cookie-cutter” estate feel
🟢 For first-home buyers, Pacific Pines is a sweet spot — especially for those seeking 2–4 bedroom homes under $850K with land, not a townhouse.
🟡 What Counts as an Entry-Level Home in Pacific Pines?
Feature | Buyer Demand |
|---|---|
3-bedroom brick home | 🟡 Very High |
1–2 bathrooms | 🟡 High |
Garage or carport | 🟢 Very High |
Backyard or outdoor space | 🟢 Extremely High |
Cosmetic-only renovation needed | 🟡 Acceptable |
No body corporate | 🟢 Preferred |
Today’s buyers are fine with repainting and small upgrades — as long as they’re not paying for unnecessary features they don’t need yet.
🟢 What First-Home Buyers Want in 2025
Priority | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
Fixed pricing | Budget certainty is key |
Loan-friendly homes | Lenders prefer standard dwellings |
Low maintenance | Buyers are time-poor and price-aware |
Potential to renovate later | “Grow into it” homes are favoured |
Family-friendly street or cul-de-sac | Safety and peace of mind |
Natural light + layout flow | Buyers want space to feel “bigger” |
🟢 These buyers often attend their first inspection with family, friends, or a mortgage broker — and they look for emotional AND logical value.

🟢 Tips for Sellers: Presenting an Entry-Level Home
You don’t need to over-renovate — but you do need to show potential.
Area | What to Focus On |
|---|---|
Kitchen | Declutter, clean, replace handles |
Bathroom | New shower curtain, clean grout, neutral towels |
Living | Pull furniture away from walls, open curtains |
Bedrooms | Remove extra furniture, use brighter bedding |
Backyard | Mow lawn, tidy edges, leave open access |
Entry | Clear path, working lights, neutral doormat |
🟢 Norton’s offers pre-listing checklists to help you prepare without overspending.
🟡 Pricing Strategy – How to Hit the First-Buyer Sweet Spot
First-home buyers are:
✅ Pre-approved
✅ Loan-limited
✅ Shopping online with exact price filters
✅ Often led by mortgage brokers who guide expectations
We price based on:
Local recent sales (not outdated medians)
Buyer search thresholds ($749K vs $801K is critical)
Appraisal ranges matched with pre-approval brackets
A/B testing buyer responses in pre-market campaigns
🟡 Your home isn’t priced to “negotiate down” — it’s priced to land in the search filters of qualified buyers.

We provide:
