October 2022
To make sense of the current real estate market, we have come out of a massive boom that accelerated home prices in a way you would typically see in a trend of one to two property cycles. On average, home values have gone up 25 per cent over the past two years- even if homes came down by a cumulative 10 per cent, they are still up by 15 per cent over three years. With values still stable, selling and buying in the market of summer 2022 is going to be beneficial with less competitive buyers. This means that purchasing after selling will be easier to navigate, with agents across the industry now understanding the importance of recognising buyer enquiry and what it means for their business.

We see a pick up in sales in the Nothern NSW coastline with summer coming into our vision; it is also the busiest time in Luxury real estate. What was fear of missing out (FOMO) has now turned to fear of buying early (FOBE). We see buyers waiting for the property market to hit bottom; however, it is evident that our economy is still growing. Wages are rising, with many borrowers ahead in their mortgage repayments. The world continues to evolve, with new buyers entering the market. In September 2022, buyers and investors were still obtaining finance with $28 billion approved Australia-wide. We will see consumer confidence comeback as buyers get more comfortable and familiar with the market change. Consumer sentiment will be a huge driving factor over the summer of 2022.
