Selling your Brisbane home in 2026: a preparation checklist

5 min read

Preparing your home for sale is the single biggest lever on your final price. Start with a thorough declutter and deep clean, then address minor repairs — chipped paint, squeaky doors and tired grout are cheap to fix but noticeable to buyers. Next, gather your documents: rates notices, titles, any renovation approvals and a draft contract. A pre-sale appraisal from a local agent gives you a realistic price band and a campaign strategy tailored to your suburb. Finally, invest in professional photography and a clear floor plan; most Brisbane buyers start their search online, so first impressions matter.
