Off-market property platform Property Whispers surges ahead through COVID-19 pandemic

Announcement posted by Property Whispers 05 May 2020

Property Whispers - Australia's instant matching & connecting platform for off-market and on-market properties - has had a significant increase in the number of buyers registering and the number of properties agents have uploaded.

Month-to-month comparing March to April 2020, there has been 133% increase in buyer registrations and comparing April 2020 to April 2019, there has been 100% increase.

We have also seen 149% increase in properties uploaded by agents when comparing March to April 2020 and a whopping 903% increase in properties uploaded comparing April 2020 to April 2019.

Thousands of new matches have been created with ready buyers for those agents. Over 45,000 matches have taken place on the platform.

In part this is COVID-19 related, with new stock low on the major advertising portals since vendors are shying away from expensive advertising. The current restrictions placed on open for inspections and public auctions are introducing agents and their vendors to the benefits of using direct-matching online platforms such as Property Whispers.

Jason Malouf, Real Estate Agent, Ray White Maroubra/South Coogee says “It’s a very challenging market at the moment securing a listing, with many vendors being hesitant to spend on advertising. By using Property Whispers I can offer my vendors another platform to sell for free right now and it instantly connects me with qualified buyers and I get their contact details instantly. It works very well since I’m put in touch with buyers right away and don’t need the open for inspections to start a conversation.

Even before COVID-19 hit I sold a property at Auction in Kingsford to a purchaser introduced by the Property Whispers platform. It’s really easy and now free to use!”

Buyers are also looking beyond the major platforms to find their dream home and love the instant matching they get on Property Whispers and particularly the access to properties for sale ‘off-market’.

Of the buyers who registered in April 2020 on Property Whispers, 76% are looking to buy within 3 months which indicates that there are savvy buyers in the market right now, and 91% of them have their finance arranged, so they are ready to buy now!
