In a market full of chatter about buying opportunities and picking up bargains, Mark Honeybone is cutting through the noise with a message that’s refreshingly grounded: you don’t win at property by being fast, you win by being focused.
In a standout webinar now streaming on APIA TV, How to Leverage Your Buying Power in This Market, Mark, a long-time investor and director at Harcourts Property Ventures, shares practical strategies for navigating a slower market. Not hypotheticals. Not social media spin. Real tactics for real investors who are still in the game, and still building.
Here’s the game-changing mindset shift you need right now: you don’t just buy when the market is down. You buy when you’ve found the right seller.
In this kind of market, investors have an edge, but only if they know where to look. And that edge doesn’t come from trying to time the rebound perfectly. It comes from understanding the motivation of the person on the other side of the table. Mark encourages investors to focus less on waiting for the “bottom” and more on identifying vendors who are ready to move. Sellers who are tired, over-leveraged, or already looking to downsize are far more likely to create opportunities than trying to out-guess the OCR.
The best deals in this market don’t come from being lucky. They come from being prepared, having your numbers sorted, your team ready, and your eyes wide open to where genuine motivation lies. That’s how you leverage your buying power.
