Latest property news:

Spring / Summer 2009 / 2010- Market activity is up!

There has been a lot of talk about where the market is heading over the last few months. The news from us is simple - buyer activity is up! This means great things for buyers and sellers trading property. When the share market looks weak, property looks strong.

Historically when rates have fallen and shares have weakened, property has experienced strong growth. So why not take advantage?

Benefits for buyers, why buy now? First home buyers can take advantage of the new government grant increases from $7000 to $10,500 for all homes or $21,000 for brand new properties. This offer has a deadline of 31st December 2009 so get in now before the competition is too strong. 

Investor presence in the market is also strengthening after shares have begun to improve. With interest rates at historically low levels and rents increasing, the returns on property are looking better and better. Once again, get in before the competition drives the prices up. Supply and demand is what truly effects property prices, we are already experiencing a short supply in the lower price brackets.

Benefits for sellers, why sell now?

If you have been waiting for a "stronger market" now is the time. The weather is fine, the buyers are out there and as long as you market strongly to stand out from competition and price correctly, you will sell.

Now is a particularly good market to upgrade, with the lower price brackets attracting good interest, it can allow you to move up to that home you have always wanted, just when interest rates are making those higher loan payments more affordable.

How does the current market may effect you and your situation?
