Selling a property sounds simple, and with homes turning over faster than ever, vendors are keen to list and get the best price they can while the market’s hot.
But selling can come with unexpected costs and roadblocks.
Sharing her expert advice on all things selling, Shelley Craft, host of The Block and licensed real estate agent, joins us this episode.

Is the hot property market here to stay, or are things starting to slow down?
After rapid price growth across nearly every part of the country this year, we’re starting to hear rustles in the wind that the property market may shift gears soon.
To discuss the year that we’ve had thus far, and what we’re likely to see through the next three to six months, we’re joined on this week’s episode by independent economist Saul Eslake.

Getting into the property market at the moment can feel near impossible for a lot of Australians, plus it’s causing some buyers to rush their purchase and nab whatever they can, before they know if they even like the neighbourhood.
One option that’s emerged is “rent with the option to buy” - certainly different to how the market usually works. It’s offered by Assemble Communities; and to explain, the managing director Kris Daff joins us this week.

Regardless of where you live, the weather’s changing - and in many cities, getting much cooler.
Many of us will turn up the heating but it may still feel pretty cold. In many cases Australian houses, even more modern ones, aren’t built for our extreme weather conditions.
So, apart from tearing down our home and starting again, what can be done? In some cases, retrofitting can help. Not only can it keep us warmer or cooler but it encourages better energy efficiency, which in turn saves money on bills.
Dr Trivess Moore from RMIT University, and a member of the Sustainable Building Innovation Laboratory, joins us to discuss retrofitting and how to do it.
Then, we hear how some toilets are becoming smarter than the average person from Lifestyle Producer Jessica Dale.

It’s really easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying a property but what many buyers often forget is that it’s not just the price paid for said property that’s important to budget for.
There are all sorts of other associated costs with buying, and because lots of them aren’t particularly exciting, they can easily be overlooked - at the buyer’s peril.
To help prepare us prior to purchase, Domain Advice Editor Daniel Butkovich joins us this week.
We also get an update on the property market for apartments and what’s driving prices down in certain areas across the country with Elizabeth Redman, Domain’s Deputy News Editor.
