How Fast Are Homes Selling in Our Local Market?

If you’ve been watching the local property market closely, one thing is clear — homes are selling faster than ever.

Across Kalbar, Boonah, and Harrisville, days on market are shrinking, buyer enquiry remains strong, and competition is becoming the norm rather than the exception. For homeowners considering selling — or buyers trying to understand the pace of the market — here’s a closer look at what’s happening right now and why.

Homes Are Selling in Weeks, Not Months

Properties across our local area are no longer sitting on the market for extended periods. Well-presented homes that are priced correctly are often selling within weeks — and in some cases, almost immediately.

Kalbar: Fast, Focused Buyer Demand

Kalbar continues to perform strongly, with buyers actively monitoring new listings and acting decisively as soon as opportunities arise.

A clear example is 24 Hudson Street, Kalbar, which sold off-market in just 24 hours. Sales like this highlight the number of qualified buyers currently waiting for the right property to become available.

Demand in Kalbar isn’t just present — it’s immediate.

Boonah: Competition Is Driving Results

In Boonah, buyer competition is intensifying. Multiple offers are becoming increasingly common, particularly for homes that appeal to families, first home buyers, and investors.

21 Oliver Street, Boonah attracted strong interest shortly after launching, reinforcing buyer confidence in both pricing and the area’s long-term value.

Harrisville: Limited Supply, Fast Decisions

Harrisville is experiencing a shortage of available homes, increasing urgency among buyers. When quality properties come to market, enquiry is often immediate.

24 Pollock Street, Harrisville is a strong example of how quickly buyers are prepared to act when supply is limited.

What’s Happening at Open Homes?

One of the clearest indicators of market strength is open-home attendance — and recent weekends have delivered standout results.

At Pollock Street, we welcomed 27 groups through the very first inspection, with line-ups down the street creating a high-energy atmosphere that translated directly into results.

Across both open homes held last weekend, we saw:

• Strong foot traffic from the moment doors opened

• Multiple serious buyer follow-ups immediately after inspections

• 15 offers submitted within hours of the open home

Interest came from a broad range of buyers, including first home buyers, tree-changers, investors, and local residents — demonstrating demand across multiple segments of the market.

Buyer feedback consistently reflected strong confidence and a clear willingness to act quickly when homes are well positioned.

Why Are Homes Selling So Quickly?

Several key factors are driving this fast-moving market:

• Limited supply and high demand — more buyers than available homes

• Buyer confidence, supported by stable local conditions and long-term growth prospects

• Strong open-home engagement, often leading to competitive bidding

• Lifestyle appeal, with space, community, and quality of life attracting buyers

• Location advantage, offering proximity to major cities while maintaining a relaxed lifestyle

What This Means for Sellers

For homeowners thinking about selling, this market presents a genuine opportunity.

Shorter days on market combined with motivated buyers can lead to strong outcomes — particularly when properties are priced strategically and marketed effectively.

Timing matters. Entering the market while demand is high and supply remains limited can make a significant difference to your result.
