Budding buyers and vendors are itching to push ahead with their property plans in spring — traditionally the year’s busiest selling season — is here.

Melbourne’s spring market could be dominated by private sales rather than the usual auction action — and any auctions we do see will be held online until COVID-19 restrictions ease.

But the change in selling style is unlikely to stop vendors from listing their homes during the busiest property season of the year, experts say.

As the lockdown is extended and the spring season already in bloom – The question arises what would the real estate advertising look like now?

The major solution to reach out to potential buyers and keep them engaged has usually been: 2 major portals, print advertising for local buyers, and Facebook ads. The question is would that be enough in the current market scenario?

Drum roll.. introducing Real Arena

Real Arena is an augmented reality app, that allows Real estate agents make their brochures (both print and digital) more interactive.

Adding this app to your marketing arsenal will help you stand out from your competition.

VENDORS WANT TO SELL WITH CONFIDENCE AND BUYERS WANT TO PURHCASE WITH CONFIDENCE

Buyer interest remains strong, due to the pent-up demand leading into what is normally a very busy spring selling season. However, both parties are tentative (and rightly so!) in current climate.

Real Arena has 4 key services that could increase your vendors and buyer’s confidence. Each of these products are designed to assist Real estate agents in different stages
