This week on Taking Back Saturday, we step back and make try to make sense of the mixed signals around the Brisbane property market right now . The national headlines might not agree, but the underlying story is clearer — local growth is still happening, just not as fast as it was a few months ago.

We unpack what that slowdown means in real terms, from shifting buyer behaviour to changing dynamics across different price points, and what sections of the market are still holding strong. There’s also a look at how interest rates and broader uncertainty are shaping buyer confidence and how the best buyers are using that to their advantage.

Whether you’re in the market or just keeping an eye on it, this episode is all about cutting through the noise and focusing on what actually matters right now.

This week on Taking Back Saturday, Sam and Chayse are talking to the movers, the upgraders and the upsizers thinking of buying and selling in the same market.

The big question is to sell first or buy first?

We break down both sides of the equation and what actually matters when making that decisions.

We cover:

• Why selling first gives you more certainty (and often a better price)
• How longer settlements and rent-backs can buy you time
• What it really takes to buy first successfully (hint: preparation is everything)
• Why subject-to-sale offers are so hard to get accepted right now
• The real risks involved in both approaches—and how to plan for them

This episode is all about having a clear strategy and understanding your position so you can move with confidence—not panic.
