Should You Sell Now in Calamvale? A Step-by-Step Decision Map for Homeowners

Step 1: Have You Owned the Property for 7+ Years?

Why it matters: The 7-year mark often means you’ve seen the majority of capital growth for that cycle.

• ✅ YES — You likely have significant equity. Proceed to Step 2.

• ❌ NO — Stay informed, but you may benefit from holding. Reassess in 12 months.

Step 2: Is Your Property Family-Sized or Dual Living?

In 2025, buyer demand in Calamvale is strongest for:

• 4-bedroom homes with 2 living zones

• Lowset brick homes with yard space

• Homes with dual-living potential or granny flats

If your property fits one of these categories:

Proceed to Step 3 — buyers are actively searching.

If your home is a compact 3-bed or townhouse:

Norton’s can appraise its market suitability (see below).

Step 3: Has Your Area Seen New Listings Recently?

Open your realestate.com.au app.

• Do similar homes to yours appear in your street or estate?

• Are there new ‘Just Listed’ signs?

• Have any been marked as ‘Under Offer’ in less than 3 weeks?

If yes:
✅ Market is moving — competition is visible, and so are buyers.

If no:
✅ You may be one of the only homes available — giving you scarcity value.

Norton’s monitors all listings in Calamvale and can advise if your street has been turning over or staying quiet.

Step 4: Are You Planning to Upsize, Downsize, or Exit Brisbane?

Timing matters.

• Selling first gives you control — you know your budget

• Waiting until you buy first can pressure your sell timeline

• If you’re downsizing, now could lock in peak pricing before the next cycle

Plan the move — don’t just react to it.

Our agents offer free timing strategy sessions with appraisal included — Calamvale only.

Step 5: Is Your Property Presentable With Minor Effort?

You don’t need a full renovation — you need:

• Decluttering

• Tidy gardens

• Clean windows

• Clear floor visibility

• Soft staging (if vacant)

✅ If you can do this within 7–10 days, you’re ready for photography.

❌ If not, Norton’s will provide a pre-listing task list and timeline — at no cost or obligation.

Step 6: Do You Know What Your Property Is Actually Worth in 2025?

Your neighbour’s price 18 months ago is not your home’s value now.

Pricing in Calamvale has shifted in 2025 due to:

• Interest rate stabilisation

• Return of Brisbane-based buyers

• Limited new land supply

• Strong rental conversions (investors entering the market again)

Norton’s conducts free, no-obligation appraisals in Calamvale, factoring in:

• Renovation potential

• School zoning

• Suburb demand by property type

• Current buyer behaviour
