Karli Bryant, 25, secured her first home in Malanda, Far North Queensland, by offering $60,000 less than a rival developer. The seller, a woman in her 90s, chose Bryant's heartfelt letter over a higher bid from a developer who planned to demolish the 116-year-old railway worker's cottage.
A Letter That Changed the Sale
Bryant, who grew up in Malanda and attended the school next door to the property, wrote to the seller about her grandmother who taught at Malanda Primary and her own plans to become a teacher there. She explained how much it would mean to raise her children in her hometown and promised to care for the home with love.
The seller, based in Western Australia, was deeply moved by the letter. Real estate agent Janine Rielly of Elders Real Estate read it aloud to the owner and said she was quite touched, noting that the elderly woman loved the idea of young people being able to enter the property market.
Restoration Begins Immediately
Two days after settlement, Bryant and her partner began restoring the timber-clad cottage, ripping up carpet, scrubbing mould, and waiting for a Bobcat to clear the overgrown backyard. They have already written a second letter to the seller and sent a photo of themselves standing in front of the house with the sold sign.
Bryant acknowledged the rarity of her story, noting that the average home ownership rate for 25-29 year olds dropped from 50 per cent in 1971 to 36 per cent in 2021. She hopes her experience will inspire other young people to keep trying in a market where regional Queensland property prices have risen 58 per cent since the last national headcount.
A Rare Victory in a Soaring Market
In Malanda, even a modest three-bedroom home starts in the mid-$400,000s, making Bryant's purchase particularly notable. The rival bidder was a developer who planned to bulldoze the cottage to build duplexes or units, but the seller insisted the house go to someone who valued its history and future.
Bryant said she initially did not think she would get the home, but when Rielly called to confirm the sale, she could hear the shock in her voice. She admitted she teared up while writing the letter and now feels disbelief at having entered the property market at just 25 years old.
