Finding Real Value in Today’s Property Market (with Nicole Craike)

In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to find value in today’s property market, even when everything feels expensive.

I’m joined by Nicole Craike, and together we share the story of how we purchased a block of units that had been sitting on the market for over 200 days and why it turned out to be a true diamond in the rough.

We also dive into:
💎 How to spot overlooked deals that others scroll past because of poor presentation or weak marketing.
🏠 Why well-presented homes often sell above market value and how to identify when you’re paying for styling, not substance.
📈 The importance of buying around the median price point and avoiding the risks of high-end properties.
🚫 Why luxury homes often underperform as both short-term and long-term rentals, especially in regional markets like Cairns and Townsville.
💸 Why property has always felt expensive to buy and what 15 years in real estate has taught us about staying focused when others walk away.

If you’re looking to buy in Cairns, Townsville, or anywhere across North Queensland, this episode will help you spot the real opportunities and buy by design.
