Kenneth Wragg Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hello. can anyone answer this question. Do homeowners advertise & sell their properties in local newspapers in Adelaide and surrounding areas? In the U.K. private sellers can place their property for sale in the local newspapers without going through agents we wanted to know if the same system operates in Australia. Thank you. K.G.W.

Marisawright Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 No, not really. People selling without an agent is rare in Australia, and if people do want to DIY, they are more likely to do it online than in a newspaper. Advertising property in print is dying out in Australia. Many real estate agents don't even bother to advertise a property in a newspaper or magazine any more, it's just online (either on domain.com.au or realestate.com.au).

Kenneth Wragg Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hello Marisa: Thanks for your email, we have took on board what you have told us, I am following the agents every one of them. K.G.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) You don't really need to follow the agents. They all advertise everything on those two websites. If you do a search for the suburbs you are interested in, you can Save that search, then you will be sent an alert at regular intervals, telling you when new properties are listed by any of them.

I've noticed quite a few private house sales here - no agents involved. This is in Tassie so not sure about the mainland. They all sell fairly quickly.

This house round the corner from us was "For sale by owner".

You can but it's unlikely. I think most people search online. There are a couple of companies similar to purple bricks in the UK.

ramot Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 A bit off topic, but our previous neighbours knew where the would like to buy, and posted a letter through lots of letter boxes asking if anyone was thinking of selling and it worked!!
