Our open homes numbers remain sound (10 per cent higher foot traffic than one year ago but still 22 per cent lower than two years ago during the height of the pandemic) Our volume of sales are also up on two years ago too Scheduled auctions across our offices remain higher too over the last two years, and since polling day our clearances are climbing back to the mid 60 per cent ranges which is actually slightly above our long term average Our team's average days on market right now is 22, which is still over a fortnight shorter than the area average
job has always been the same To create competition for our sellers and we can do that in any market The process remains the same to market our properties as far and widely as possible for our sellers We’ve never lost sight of

surge in international student arrivals is likely to add further pressure to already tight Gold Coast rental market Australia wide properties are renting faster than ever, and the number of days it took a rental property to be leased after it was listed on realestate com au in July hit a historic low 19 days Nationally, median advertised rents on realestate com au have increased by 8% in the past 12 months alone
The cash rate has been increasing, with economists from the big four banks predicting it could grow to over 2% The cash rate impacts the interest rate lenders offer on variable rate home loans, which in turn impacts the total amount someone may be able to borrow
If the cash rate continues to grow, and the lenders pass on the increase to borrowers, the total amount a borrower can access will decrease.
In the example below, an increase in interest rate by just 0 25 percentage points from 2 5% p a to 2 75% p a would decrease borrowing capacity by $21,000 A change of one percentage point from 2 5% p a to 3 5% p a would decrease borrowing capacity by $77,000
