Prices are now firmly on the move everywhere in Australia, having increased by 3 5 per cent since the start of the year While there are a lot of things driving prices upwards, a lack of new listings is one of them Despite heat returning to the market, new listings are down compared to last year everywhere except Adelaide Adelaide’s median is now exceeding last year ’ s peak and it’s likely a factor driving sellers back into the market New listings are down but it looks like we ’ re in for a much better spring Listing authorities (properties for sale but not yet advertised) are now at a similar level to 2022 Although this is Ray White listing authorities only, it still represents over 12 per cent of all listings in Australia It’s also likely other agencies are experiencing a similar trend The number of new listings continues to be low but the total number of properties for sale remains historically high Longer time on market means that the number of properties for sale is exceeding the number of properties sold It’s likely that this will start to reverse over the next six months
Buyer activity continues to increase and we ’ re seeing this most clearly through Ray White auction data The number of people bidding at auction is now back to where we were in April 2022 The number of active bidders remained stable in June & increased in July, perhaps due to the interest rate hold announced at the start of that month
Ray White’s total sales in June were on par with what we recorded in June last year Recording $6 4 billion, it was less than May, reflective of slower conditions in winter It’s possible that by spring, total sales will exceed the same period in 2022 This will be partly driven by price growth but also the anticipated increase in listings
