About Selling With Axiom

The West Lakes Market

The lake, the island and who buys

Delfin developed West Lakes in partnership with the South Australian Government, and it was officially opened in 1977. The suburb belongs to the City of Charles Sturt and is known for its tidal lake and Delfin Island, a residential island joined to the mainland by West Lakes Boulevard and two footbridges. Island homes on its quieter cul-de-sacs are generally valued above most others in the suburb.

Housing ranges from homes of the original development, which ran from 1970 to 2001, to townhouses and apartments in the WEST precinct on the old Football Park land. The 2021 Census counted 57.9% separate houses, 32.5% townhouses or semi-detached homes and 9.4% flats or apartments. Each type has its own buyer, and we build the campaign around yours.

Curious what yours would bring? A free appraisal is the place to start.

How We Sell West Lakes Homes

Preparation, paperwork and the campaign

Buyers looking at a home on reclaimed land often ask about the footings and any cracking. A building report you can hand over early, and repairs finished by reliable tradespeople before the photographs, settle that question before it becomes a bargaining point.

Ask your conveyancer to check the title for any encumbrances from the original development, so a buyer’s questions have answers from day one. For a townhouse or unit, have the strata levies, fund balance and minutes ready. Where the land is generous, we look up its zone, because a developer could see space for a second dwelling.

Two to three weeks on realestate.com.au and Domain follow, with social ads written and run by our own staff. We also put the home in front of more than 10,000 buyers and investors on file, landlords we manage for among them.

Nearby suburbs and the investor angle

Our sales pages for neighbouring suburbs cover West Lakes Shore, Semaphore Park, Royal Park, Tennyson and Queenstown.

Investors are a smaller part of the West Lakes market, since so little of it is rented. Those who do bid want a reliable rent figure, and our property managers can supply one during your campaign. If you would rather lease the home than sell it, see West Lakes property management.

Common West Lakes Real Estate Agent FAQs

Have a Question?

They tend to attract buyers who want a quiet cul-de-sac or a lakefront position, and island homes are generally valued above most others in the suburb. We price yours from sales on the island and nearby, so the figure reflects its own position.

Buyers may ask about it. The EPA’s prohibition stops bore water being taken in parts of West Lakes and Royal Park, and the EPA says mains water and rainwater are unaffected. If your home is inside the area, have the EPA information ready so a question about it doesn’t stall the negotiation.

Mostly couples and people wanting less garden to look after, along with some investors. Townhouses and semi-detached homes were 32.5% of West Lakes homes in 2021, so there is a steady market for them, and buyers compare levies and parking closely.

Comparable sales come first, then adjustments for lake frontage, land size, condition and position in the street. There is no charge or obligation for the in-person appraisal, and you keep the list of sales we used.

Axiom Realty charges a percentage commission plus a marketing budget. Both are set out in the sales agency agreement before your property goes to market, so you know the full cost before you commit.

Accurate Appraisal

Realistic appraisals are key to the sales process – Axiom Realty will never exaggerate your home’s market value just to win your business.

Preparation

Often, minor touch ups prior to listing a property can increase final sale price. We suggest changes and refer reliable trades people so that your home enters the market looking its best.

Marketing your property

We have a heavy focus on technology and digital marketing channels to target potential buyers directly. By analysing your property’s suburb, we target buyers with even greater precision thereby achieving impressive results at lower cost.

Axiom Boasts an in-house social media specialist to ensure your home gains maximum exposure to potential buyers.

Expert Negotiation

Skilled negotiation has often increased the sale (and rental) price of our listings significantly. This alone can increase your sales price by thousands or allow for more favourable sale conditions (eg. no finance, higher deposit).
