Nick Duchatel | Cromer Specialist 0430 443 633 | nick.duchatel@belleproperty.com Belle Property Dee Why , 12 Howard Avenue, Dee Why belleproperty.com/deewhy Welcome to 2018. Already well into the first quarter of another exciting year, the feeling shared by our clients suggest there is a positive energy and an eagerness for buyers out there to find their perfect family home. Our consistent level of enquiry at Belle Property says so too… There’s no doubt that low interest rates, less stringent finance approvals and the buyers “fear of missing out” have aided the increase in property prices, but today, with more property choice selective buyers are waiting it out for their ideal home without compromising on their must-haves. During 2017, we saw further growth along the Northern Beaches which carried through until June/ July when we started to see a shift in buyer behaviour – more properties became available and less buyers were willing to commit. Banks adjusted their lending criteria making it harder to obtain finance, and in turn, more difficult for buyers to purchase.The flow on effect meant buyers became more cautious. Comparing prices from the beginning to the end of 2017, the market stepped back a little – and so the challenge for 2018 (along with the possibility of an interest rate rise) is that more homes will hit the market. Despite this, Belle Property achieved some outstanding results last year - evidence of the strength of our team, our commitment to our clients and proof that premium prices can still be reached irrespective of market conditions.We set a suburb record for Cromer three times last year: · 15A Ryrie Avenue, Cromer - $2,200,000 · 302 Alfred Street, Cromer - $2,362,500 · 74 Toronto Avenue, Cromer - $3,300,000 Cromer is a fantastic family-friendly community close to parks, good schooling and beaches. As your area specialist, Belle Property Dee Why has many incredible properties hitting the market and we can’t wait to keep you updated throughout the year.
