More Transparency, Less Risk: New Seller Laws You Should Know About
From August 1, 2025, the way property is bought and sold in Queensland is changing — and it’s a change that’s been a long time coming. For decades, Queensland has relied on a “buyer beware” model, where it’s been up to the buyer to do all the digging after signing a contract. Only then would they uncover details like zoning, easements, or body corporate rules. But now, that’s being turned on its head. The new Seller Disclosure Regime, part of the Property Law Act 2023, will legally require sellers to provide key information about a property before a buyer signs anything. That means important details — like who owns the land, whether there are any easements, pool compliance, or upcoming infrastructure works — must be disclosed upfront. Sellers will need to complete a standardised document known as Form 2 and provide specific supporting certificates, such as a title search, registered plan, and rates or water summaries. The exact documents required will vary depending on the property — for example, body corporate disclosures for apartments or pool safety certificates where applicable. It’s a formal, structured shift toward transparency. For buyers, it means greater confidence and fewer surprises. For sellers and agents, it means more responsibility to get the details right from the outset. And the consequences are real — if the disclosure is missing or inaccurate, the buyer can terminate the contract at any time before settlement and receive a full refund of their deposit. These protections are non-negotiable and cannot be waived, even by mutual agreement. At RealWay, we’ve always championed clarity, honesty, and good communication. So while this reform changes the legal landscape, it simply formalises what we already stand for. We believe that buyers and sellers alike deserve to make informed decisions — and that starts with sharing the right information, at the right time. If you’re thinking about selling in the months ahead, now is the time to get prepared. Begin collecting the documents you’ll need and speak with your agent and solicitor about the new requirements. With a little preparation, you’ll avoid delays and be ready to move confidently into this new chapter of property law. For us, it’s business as usual — just with better rules for everyone involved. If you’d like to understand how these changes may affect your property journey, our RealWay team is here to help....
Preparing your home for the big chill
With the weather still comfortable and families enjoying the great outdoors in most states, now is the time to prepare your home for the approaching winter. A little planning and preventative maintenance go a long way towards cleaning and sprucing up your home and garden in readiness for the colder months ahead. The benefits of forward planning Regular home maintenance ensures that breakdowns or expensive repairs are not on the agenda — allowing you to coast into a catastrophe-free winter. In addition, you will save on energy costs and eliminate the need for emergency breakdown fees with a sound winter-preparedness plan in place. Taking advantage of clement conditions We know that soon enough the days will shorten as the night-time temperatures slowly plummet. This trans-seasonal time can be used wisely to fuel the imagination for a cosy-style scene-setting at home.

Getting your home ready for the forthcoming season allows you to fully immerse yourself in the interior warmth of winter. How to ensure your home is ready for cold weather Here’s a checklist of tasks for preparing your house and garden for late autumn and early winter: Clean and cover your outdoor furniture Plant your bulbs for springtime flowers Clean the gutters and install gutter guards to prevent backups when the wet season hits Check out and clean on and around your outdoor heating, ventilation and air-conditioning units as obstructions can cause excess energy use Prepare your chimney for cosy night-time fires with an annual safety inspection and cleaning Stock up on plenty of firewood for heating your home this winter Replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and other detective devices Prepare your heating systems for the heavy demands of cold weather use with seasonal maintenance Keep the cold weather at bay by replacing dry or damaged weather stripping on all doors and windows Check your home for drafts and potential cold spots - blocking out drafts can make a big difference to overall room temperature and reduce heating costs Check your outside water spigots for leaks If you live in a particularly cold climate, ensuring that all exterior-wall water pipes are insulated can prevent freezing and burst pipes Check all flashlight batteries and stock up on supplies for potential power outages. Prepare your generators and give them a test run Empty the fuel supplies from lawn-mowing equipment to prepare for minimal or non-usage during the winter months Check and trim your landscaping for dead or damaged tree limbs. Last, but not least, sit back and admire your handywork and maintenance efforts, as they will surely stand you in good stead for the chilly months ahead. If you find any tasks that you will need professional assistance with - getting organised early will ensure your property can be tended to. In times of peak demand wait times can be longer than expected and getting organised early will help you to beat the rush.

Easter at Home: A Time to Pause, Reflect, and Reconnect
In the middle of our fast-paced lives, Easter offers something rare—a moment to pause. Whether you’re gathering with family, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet long weekend at home, this time of year invites us to slow down and reconnect with what matters most. At RealWay, we know that home isn’t defined by how many people live there. It’s defined by the life you build inside it. For some, it’s a bustling family hub filled with Easter egg hunts and shared traditions. For others, it’s a peaceful space to unwind, recharge, and breathe a little deeper after a busy start to the year. We see homes in all shapes, sizes and stories—and we know how much they mean to the people who live in them. A sunny balcony for morning coffee. A quiet study nook for late-night projects. A backyard for entertaining, or a city apartment close to work and weekend markets. No matter the lifestyle, your home should reflect you. Easter also reminds us that change can be a good thing. It’s a season of fresh starts and new chapters—whether you're thinking about upsizing, downsizing, investing, or simply dreaming about the next move. So, as the leaves start to turn and the air gets that crisp autumn feel, we hope you find a little time this Easter to enjoy your space, rest your mind, and make plans for what’s next. From all of us at RealWay, have a safe, happy and well-earned break—whatever that looks like for you.And hopefully, the Easter Bunny finds you too... and spreads plenty of chocolatey goodness your way!...
Navigating Australia's Rental Crisis: Challenges and Opportunities
Australia's rental market has reached unprecedented levels of unaffordability, creating financial strain across a broad spectrum of income earners. Recent reports indicate that Australians now require an annual income of $130,000 to comfortably afford the national average unit rent of $566 per week. This alarming reality highlights the growing challenges within the housing sector. The Growing Burden of Rental Stress Rental stress—defined as spending more than 30% of one's income on housing—now affects more than just low-income households. Individuals earning $100,000 annually are allocating approximately 38% of their income to rent, while those earning $70,000 may be spending over 50%. This imbalance underscores the widening gap between income growth and soaring rental prices. Key Drivers of the Crisis Several factors have contributed to Australia's deepening rental affordability crisis: Housing Supply Shortages: Australia is projected to fall short of its housing targets by 462,000 homes in capital cities by 2029, intensifying competition and pushing rents higher. Wage Growth Lagging Behind Costs: While rental prices have surged by 48% since pre-pandemic times, average household incomes have only increased by 19%, making it harder for Australians to keep up with rising living expenses. Ways to Ease Rental Pressures Despite the challenges, there are strategies individuals can explore to alleviate rental costs: House-Sharing: Splitting housing expenses with housemates can significantly reduce the financial burden of rent and utilities. Government Assistance: Checking eligibility for programs such as Commonwealth Rent Assistance can provide much-needed financial support for those struggling with affordability. Flexible Location Choices: Considering homes in outer suburban areas or regions with lower rental prices may offer more affordable housing options. Advocacy for Housing Reform: Supporting initiatives that increase the supply of affordable housing and reviewing tax incentives for investors can drive long-term improvements in the rental market. Property Investment: A Strategic Opportunity While the current market presents challenges for renters, it also highlights the resilience and value of property investment. Those in a position to invest in housing can benefit from continued rental demand, strong yields, and long-term capital growth. As supply remains constrained, well-positioned investors have an opportunity to secure assets that will likely appreciate in value over time.
