If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

I'm 5th generation of my family in successful Australian real estate development, and like my forebears I don't follow the "experts" either! Particularly at present. There are many pockets around the country that are good investments now for future development, with real rent and hold potential in the short term. Presentation is everything. Even if a house looks ordinary now imagination, effort and a small amount of money can take it from drab to dazzling. Go the extra mile, using appropriate sensory stimuli (coffee, fresh flowers, bread baking and even incense) to evoke response and capture your buyer's imagination. For homes make the buying environment and experience as beautiful as possible. It is worth the extra effort. When you find agents talking the market down it could be because they are finding it hard to adjust to the changes which now require them to work a lot harder to sell your property. Generally I've found many are lacking imagination and waiting for someone to tell them what to do. If you feel your agent shows even a whisker of negativity find someone else to market your property with style. More experienced agents may find it challenging to adjust to the changing attitudes of buyers and their behaviour. The advantage of experience is that they know there are ups and downs and can give you valuable information and reassurance. It's time now to let go of how it worked in the past and realise that there are some absolute gems in the most unlikely places that could see large capital gains within three years beyond the forecasts. Infrastructure changes in the surround areas, rezoning and proposed developments can have a dramatic effect on the value of land, as can speculation on potential for the area. If you're prepared quick changes are opportunities to pick up good gains. One such area in Brisbane is Pinkenba Village - it's done it before and is worth watching as a flashpoint, in my opinion. Think like a developer: go with your gut instinct and hunches, then use your intelligence to fill in the details. Happy hunting!
