IT'S one of the most basic rules of any type of selling, the more people who know about your product the better your chances of achieving a premium price.

Having a perfect home to list is all well and good, but your chances of selling for the highest possible price can be significantly reduced if nobody knows about it.

New research reveals the key to selling your home for more is to reach the highest number of potential buyers and an effective way to achieve this is by using print and online marketing.

Research from Ipsos MediaCT revealed that 42 per cent more visitors attend open homes and 28 per cent more visitors will visit the online if they have seen a property advertised in print.

Using CoreLogic data, the research revealed that in Noosa the average price of a property sold using both print and online advertising is $965,176 compared to $878,299 for a property sold using only online.

And there is a higher success rate for sellers using print and online compared with just online, with the research revealing 70.4 per cents sell within the Noosa area when using both methods, compared with 69.3 per cent for those who just advertise online.
