Early indicators at the start of the year suggest a promising outlook for real estate in 2025, with consumer sentiment improving steadily despite property values remaining stable. The recent interest rate cut played a key role in boosting confidence, setting the stage for potential price shifts in the coming months.
Move-in-ready family homes saw the strongest demand across our key areas, with buyers prioritising convenience and lifestyle. Well-located properties in established suburbs continued to attract competition, particularly those within school zones and close to amenities. At the same time, interstate investors turned their attention to the Victorian market, recognising its potential as it began to correct after previous fluctuations.
Market momentum increased as buyer confidence grew, reflected in stronger attendance at inspections and more competitive bidding at auctions. Sellers who presented their homes well and priced strategically saw positive results, while buyers showed greater urgency to secure quality properties.
Looking ahead, the outlook remains optimistic, with the potential for further rate cuts likely to encourage more activity. As confidence continues to build, both buyers and sellers have the opportunity to capitalise on favourable conditions. The next few months could bring meaningful shifts in pricing and demand, making it an ideal time to enter the market.
