As we move through autumn, there’s a noticeable shift in how both buyers and sellers are approaching the market. Broader economic factors are beginning to play a role, with global uncertainty and rising fuel costs contributing to ongoing cost of living pressures, while government measures aim to provide some relief.
On the ground, we’re seeing an increase in the number of properties coming to market, although overall stock levels remain around 34% below the same time last year. Buyer engagement continues, particularly for homes that are well-presented and well-priced, where competition is still delivering strong results. At the same time, some buyers are taking a more considered approach, creating a market that requires thoughtful positioning and strategy.
Over recent weeks, we’ve continued to see steady activity, with multiple properties moving under offer as buyers step forward with confidence when the right opportunity presents itself.
While the future can’t be predicted, what remains consistent is the importance of presentation, pricing and a clear strategy, along with working with an agent who understands how to align your home with current conditions.
With beautiful autumn weather forecast for the Easter long weekend and the beginning of the school holidays, it’s an ideal time to be out exploring what’s available. We look forward to welcoming you through our home opens this weekend.
