Mint

As winter approaches and the temperature outside continues to drop, our team is finding there is still plenty of heat in the property market. Traditionally, we experience the market cooling off over the winter months although this year we are anticipating it to be unseasonably active. So far this year, the flow of new listings has not been able to keep pace with buyer demand, fuelled by the continued return of expats to the state, historically low interest rates and the multi- year low rental vacancy rate of 0.8%. Buyer competition is at a level that has not been experienced in years, resulting in swift sales for premium results. The first quarter of 2021 showed double-digit median house price growth for several local suburbs and we are finding more and more homeowners are starting to ask if now is the right time to make the move to a home or location that better suits their current situation.

A Subject to Finance Auction is our transparent selling method that harnesses the increased buyer competition currently being encountered. We have been overjoyed with the success of this unique method of Auction, with all ten of the properties we have booked a Subject to Finance Auction for this year, either selling before the Auction or under the hammer after receiving multiple bids. Looking ahead with market sentiment staying strong, we are poised to continue achieving excellent results over the coming months and expect more homes will be hitting the market in spring, once sellers have utilised the cooler months to prepare their homes.
