EP. 1576 rental tenancies gone wrong, who stole my cheese!
#1576
Last Monday at 11:00 PM

🏠 Shared tenancies: Start it right. Finish it properly.

Had a few laughs today (yes, someone did ask how to use the washing machine 😅)…
But seriously — if you’re in a shared rental, here’s what you must know 👇

✔️ Communicate with your property manager
✔️ Make sure all documents are signed — starting and ending a tenancy
✔️ You can’t just remove yourself from a lease — landlord approval is required
✔️ The person staying behind must also be approved
✔️ Don’t forget: bond paperwork ≠ end of lease

⚠️ Pro tip: If you’re leaving a shared house, grab the termination...


EP. 1577 IS THE REAL ESTATE BUBBLE ABOUT TO EXPLODE?
#1577
Last Monday at 11:00 PM

🏡 The property dream: Is it really slipping away?

We get it. It feels harder than ever to buy a home.
But when you zoom out over 30, 50, even 70 years… the data tells a different story 👇

📈 Generational ownership has followed a consistent, steady trend.
👵🏼 Baby Boomers made their mark.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Gen X and Millennials are now taking the reins.
🤝 Government incentives have never been better to help you in.

Despite the headlines, real estate continues to prove itself — decade after decade.
The dream’s not dead. It's just different.

If you're sitting on the sidelines, w...


EP. 1575 The First Home Buyer Dream Becomes Even More Impossible
#1575
12/09/2025

💥 “Stretch yourself — you sort of can’t afford not to.”

Getting into the property market isn’t easy. Deposits are tough, super takes a bite, and banks lend less than you hoped. But here’s the reality 👇

📈 Property prices have outperformed wages for years
🏠 The median house price in Australia has jumped 50% in the last 5 years
💡 Northern Beaches property doubles every 10 years (on average)

So what’s the move?
💰 Be strategic
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Leverage family if you can
🤝 Buy with a mate
🥣 Eat rice and beans if you have to
But get in.

EP. 1574 SOLD OFF INSTAGRAM?
#1574
12/08/2025

📲 Listed. Posted. Sold — within 24 hours.

Social media isn’t just about likes and views. It’s about reach, trust, and real results.

In just one street:
✅ 3 listings
✅ All posted on Instagram
✅ All sold fast — one in under 24 hours, record price
✅ $0 spent on traditional marketing

Vendors are watching. Buyers are watching. Your next deal might already be following you. 👀

Social media is just another channel — like realestate.com.au or Domain — and if your agent knows how to use it, it can be a game-changer.

NOVAK NEWS - SYDNEY'S NORTHERN BEACHES 2025 PROPERTY TRENDS & PREDICTIONS FOR 2026
12/08/2025

📈 $740K → $835K in 6 months
That’s the reality some first-home buyers are waking up to — just by getting in when they were ready instead of waiting.

💰 Waiting 3 months can cost you $60K+
🏡 Property doesn’t wait — and neither should you

If you’ve got the deposit and you're thinking “maybe next year”…
👉 That is the time.

We’ll be around over Christmas (closed public holidays) — pop in for a coffee, ask the questions, and start your 2026 ahead of the pack.

EP. 1573 THE 5% DEPOSIT FIRST HOME BUYER SPOILER
#1573
12/07/2025

🏡 Bought in 2007 with a 5% deposit. Now worth 4x.
That’s the power of getting in — even when it feels like a stretch.

Yes, borrowing can feel big. But banks are conservative.
Yes, repayments are tough at first. But rents are strong, and good real estate holds its ground.

Even after 13 interest rate rises, we didn’t see the panic. No fire sales. No price collapses. Just steady hands and solid strategy.

📈 First 3 years? The hardest.
But beyond that? It’s all about what you bought, where you bought, an...


EP. 1572 MATE MATE! IT CANT BE DONE BEFORE XMAS!
#1572
12/07/2025

🎄 “Can’t be done before Christmas”?
That’s the lowest-hanging fruit of the year.

While others are clocking off, we're switching on — because buyers still want to buy, and sellers still want to sell.

✅ No shutdown
✅ No excuses
✅ Just serious results for those who stay in the game

Whether you're renting, buying, selling, or leasing — December & January are full of opportunity if you're ready to hustle.

We’re here. Let’s make it happen.

EP. 1571 Hmmm…. smells like team spirit.
#1571
12/03/2025

🏡 At Novak, it’s not just a team — it’s a family.

From the front desk to property management, from our events to everyday calls — our clients feel the culture, the care, and the community we’ve built. 💛

Some landlords have been with us for 15+ years.
Some tenants pop in just to say hi (and bring their dogs 🐶).
Our office? It’s a real estate hub and a Northern Beaches hangout.

We’re proud of the work we do — but even prouder of the relationships we’ve grown along the way.

EP. 1570 The Clever House Turned Dumb
#1570
12/02/2025

🏡 Is your dream home starting to feel a little... too much?

You’re not alone. More and more families are choosing off-the-plan apartments for the next chapter — less maintenance, more convenience, and the time to plan it right.

In this case? A family of five selling the family home and buying three brand-new apartments in one building.
Why it worked:
✔️ Time to prepare the house for sale
✔️ Time to emotionally prepare for the move
✔️ Options to choose layout, price point & outlook

If you’re ready to trade lawns for lu...

12/01/2025

🎄 Real estate doesn’t stop for Christmas — in fact, it heats up.

While everyone’s relaxing post-lunch on Christmas Day and Boxing Day… they're also scrolling realestate.com & Domain. 📱
We've even exchanged deals on Christmas Eve — yes, really.

☀️ In holiday hotspots like Port Stephens, serious buyers use their time off to inspect, research, and line up a January purchase.

💡 So if you're thinking of selling, don’t wait. List now, ride the wave, and just be mindful of one thing — when your lawyer’s back. 😉

EP. 1568 SYDNEY: PRICEY PARADISE OR COST-OF-LIVING CRISIS?
#1568
12/01/2025

🏙️ Why do people keep paying top dollar for Sydney?

Because love it or leave it — Sydney’s still one of the most desirable cities in the world 🌏💸

Sure, it’s not cheap. But people are voting with their money, and the Northern Beaches? Still thriving in our own unique micro market.

For some, Sydney is the stepping stone — build equity, raise a family, then move regional. For others, it’s the forever dream.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer in real estate. But one thing’s clear: people value Sydney — and...


EP. 1567 DEE WHY’S LONGEST BUILD……….WHY??????
#1567
12/01/2025

🏗️ From hole to icon.

The Havana project may have started slow (that basement dig was deep) — but since then? A total masterclass in quality, speed, and vision.

✅ Family-owned developer
✅ Premium finishes, no affordable housing component
✅ Some of DY’s highest rental and sales rates
✅ Built to last — with buyers already lining up

This isn’t just another apartment block — it’s a future landmark in the making.

Only a few 1- & 2-bedders remain. And if you’ve got a site and want this team to build your legacy? Let’s...


EP. 1566 TRADIES GET THE LADIES

11/27/2025

👷‍♂️💪 Tradies get the job done — and they get the love today!

From changing globes on cherry pickers to building our homes, fixing our mess, and showing up rain or shine — tradies are legends.

So if you see one today…
👉 Hand them a coffee
👉 Give them a smile
👉 Or go all in and hug a tradie 😂

11/25/2025

🛠️ “The tradies test the tools — the market tests the properties.”

Quality always wins. Whether it's a Milwaukee drill or a prime piece of Sydney real estate, performance over time says it all.

💡 Sydney = proven.
30, 50 years of growth, resilience, and equity-building. Some who chased cheaper land outside Sydney are now priced outof the city for good.

🏡 2 parts equity. 1 part rent.
Chase growth, not just cash flow.

EP. 1563 AUCTION CLEARANCE RATES: WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (AND WHERE TO FIND THEM!)
#1563
11/25/2025

MEN vs WOMEN IN REAL ESTATE? 🤔🔥
Spoiler: It’s NOT a competition.

I had someone ask me recently, “As a woman, how will you go negotiating against tough men at this level?”

My answer?
Negotiation has no gender.
You either have it… or you don’t. 💯

In real estate, the most powerful model I’ve ever seen is a combined male + female team.
Different strengths.
Different energies.
United at the table = unbeatable. 🤝✨

Some of the most empathetic, intuitive negotiators I’ve met are men.

EP. 1561 – The Frenchs Forest Boom: New Bunnings, New Schools, New Hospital, New Zoning!
#1561
11/24/2025

🚧 Frenchs Forest = Boomtown.

✅ New Bunnings
✅ New schools & hospital
✅ New zoning + 10,000 new dwellings planned
✅ And yes — more parking than ever thanks to clever planning (shoutout to Meriton for that 👏)

The roads literally lead everywhere. And if you're investing near major infrastructure like this — homes, warehouses, or storage — you're already ahead.

As we like to say: “Close to nowhere, but 10 minutes to everywhere.” 😎

NOVAK NEWS - WHAT'S REALLY STOPPING NEW HOMES? CLUE: IT'S NOT BUYERS
11/24/2025

WHY NORTHERN BEACHES PRICES KEEP RISING 📈🔥

Less land. Fewer builds. Developers stepping back.
And the DA numbers prove it 👇

DA LODGEMENTS — THEN VS NOW:
🏗️ 2020–21:
• 213 new dwellings
• 140 secondary dwellings

🏗️ 2024–25:
• 171 new dwellings
• 86 secondary dwellings

That’s a massive drop in supply — and it’s exactly why prices aren’t slowing down.

Developers are cautious, construction costs are up, the maths isn’t “mathing”… and even if they can build a duplex, many won’t.

Meanwhile, off-the-plan is shining ✨
Limited stock. Established suburbs. S...


EP. 1560 SLAY HEHE THE SUBURB SNOBS
#1560
11/19/2025

🏡 “The ultimate slay?” Voting with your wallet.

Some suburbs get the hype. Others get the results 💰
DY might not be “fancy” to some, but it’s delivered massive growth, happy homeowners, and epic lifestyle perks.

📍Manly has the ice cream and the harbour.
📍Avalon’s got the charm.
📍Terry Hills? Quiet luxury on acreage.

But before you slay a suburb, remember — it’s someone’s home. And maybe even your future best investment. 😉

11/18/2025

🚨 Almost sold out — and for good reason.

This warehouse & storage development has delivered big results for early buyers 💥
✅ Capital growth
✅ Strong rental returns
✅ Low-maintenance commercial assets

🔁 And now? The next stage is coming — same developer, same area, upgraded infrastructure, and low supply (the magic combo).

We're not just selling it — we’re buying in too. When agents invest, it says a lot.

EP. 1558 - THE SILENT AGENT SYNDROME
#1558
11/17/2025

📣 “No update” is still an update.

In real estate, silence creates doubt — and doubt kills deals. That’s why keeping buyers and sellers in the loop is non-negotiable.

✅ A quick call or text saying “no news yet” builds trust.
🧠 Every listing has a backstory — don’t assume slow movement means something’s wrong.

Good agents don’t just chase deals — they build relationships through honest, open communication. 🤝

NOVAK NEWS - AGENTS UNDERQUOTING CRACKDOWN ......THE REAL STORY
11/17/2025

🔥 Real talk: The fines are flying. The watchdogs are circling. And fair trading? They're coming in hard on dodgy real estate practices.

But let’s be clear — not all agents are cutting corners. In fact, many are doing an exceptional job with honesty, heart, and hustle.

✅ Do we need more accountability? Yes.
❌ Should great agents be punished for the mistakes of a few? No.
🎯 The serial offenders are known — it’s time to act strategically, not sensationally.

Because this job isn’t for the faint-hearted. The real ones are in it for the long g...


EP. 1556! Blessed by Valuations
#1556
11/16/2025

💰 Valuation = leverage. And it's one of the most underrated tools in property.

We’ve seen it firsthand:
🔑 Buy at $900K → New val at $1.15M
📈 Rent covers the costs
🏠 Equity unlocked → Buy another property — no extra cash in

Yes, valuations vary between banks. Yes, they can make or break your next move.
Know the game, play it smart. 🧠

💸 “What will this property cost me per week — after tax?”

If you don’t know the answer, you’re not alone. That’s why we built our own ChatGPT-powered cash flow calculator— designed specifically for property buyers 🧠

Plug in real numbers (like rent, strata, water, council, and more) and it tells you your true weekly out-of-pocket cost.

📲 SMS “cash flow” to 0460 111 111 to try it out
You might find owning is cheaper than you think.

EP. 1555 …TREE WARS! “MATE YOU CUT MY TREE”
#1555
11/13/2025

🌳 "It’s just a tree"... until it costs you $8,000 or crushes your driveway. 😅

From stained patios to falling branches (aka “widow makers” 😬), neglected trees can be a massive problem. And if they’re protected species? Good luck touching them later.

🪓 Arborist reports aren’t cheap, but damage is worse.
🌿 Pro tip: Ask your property manager to report on trees during routine inspections — for safety, sunlight & sanity.

Because concrete driveways don’t drop leaves. 😉

EP. 1554 - Who The Hell Rents Out Storage!
#1554
11/11/2025

🧠 Who actually rents storage units?

Turns out... a lot of people. From international chefs to downsizers, tradies to e-commerce pros — storage is booming 💥

🚪 A 1.5m x 1.5m unit starts from just $134/month
🚚 Larger, mezzanine-style spaces can go for $275+/week — and STILL beat traditional warehousing on value

🔐 Secure, low-maintenance, flexible — and in hot demand as our population grows.

Storage isn’t just a space. It’s a solution. 📦

NOVAK NEWS - 10 QUESTIONS EVERY BUYER ASKS BEFORE SIGNING OFF THE PLAN - ANSWERED
11/10/2025

🧱 Buying off the plan? Here’s what you need to know 👇

✅ On the Northern Beaches, it’s rare for new builds to drop in value before completion
✅ Investors love them — modern buildings rent fast & come with strong depreciation benefits
✅ Visualising the space makes a huge difference — our showroom helps bring it to life

If you’re buying for the future, this might be your moment.

EP. 1553 COMMISSION CUTTERS: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
#1553
11/10/2025

🚨 Cheap agent = cheap result?

If an agent’s fees seem too low, there’s usually a reason.
No reviews? No local sales? Long lock-in contracts? 🚩🚩🚩

Before you sign anything, ask:
“Why are you cheaper than everyone else?”
Then get it in writing — and keep the agreement short if you're unsure.

Because a discount upfront could cost you thousands later.

EP. 1552 - VALUATION SAYS GO. THE MARKET SAYS NO
#1552
11/09/2025

💡Valuations: one of the most misunderstood parts of the property game.

✅ Banks use settled sales, not recent ones
✅ Valuers & agents don’t “negotiate”
✅ You can request another valuation (just don’t expect the first one to change!)

In fast-moving markets, this can make or break a deal — especially with off-the-plan or auction sales.

If your valuation falls short, talk to your broker early. And remember: the bank always lends against the lower of the contract price or the valuation.

11/09/2025

🚨 40-year home loans have landed — but only a few lenders are offering them.

Yes, it's a longer commitment. But for buyers chasing better cash flow or trying to get into a tough market? It could be a game-changer.

💰 A $400/month difference might be all it takes to seal the deal.
✅ The key? Discipline. Hustle. Refinancing when you’re ready.

If you're moving for the right reasons — a better home, a better life — keep pushing. The hustlers always win.

Think location, not just layout. 🏙️💡

👉 Studios in this Northern Beaches building are over 40sqm – lending-friendly & packed with value.
🏦 Banks are on board now too. With solid data over the last 5 years, it's no longer a gamble.

EP. 1545 — THERE ARE 185 REAL ESTATE OFFICES... HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE? 🏠🤔
#1545
11/02/2025

🎯 Choosing the right real estate agent?
It’s not one-size-fits-all! Your property has a personality — and your agent should reflect that. 💼🏡

📸 Too many listings look the same. Bland, copy-paste vibes don’t sell. You need that oomph – the agent who gets it.

👥 Just like teachers at school, not all agents are the same. Some you’ll click with instantly, some prefer to let their work do the talking.

💡Match the agent to your property — sales or rentals — and watch the difference it makes.

EP. 1539 Pool Lies & Hidden Toxins: Staying Safe This Summer
#1539
10/26/2025

Pool season is here – but is your pool safe? 💧☀️

It might look crystal clear, but too many (or not enough) chemicals can turn that backyard oasis into a health hazard. 🧪⚠️

As property managers, we rely on pool companies – but sometimes things slip. Green water? Sludge? Yikes. 💚

🧪 Tip: Grab a small sample and get it tested independently for peace of mind.
💸 Avoid draining your pool – it’s expensive and wasteful!
👙 Pools are fun, but safety comes first.

Just a reminder: it’s not about the fancy setup… kids just wanna splash! 😄🌊
