Why sell now?
Prices are now firmly on the move everywhere in Australia, having increased by 3 5 per cent since the start of the year At current rates of growth, house prices will be back to their 2022 peaks within the next two months
In Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Darwin, all cities where prices barely fell last year, peak pricing is already back
Leading the charge in terms of percentage growth are Sydney premium markets While they fell the most last year, they are accelerating the quickest In regional markets, a similar trend is occurring with the most expensive markets including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, seeing the largest increases this year While there was a view that house prices nationally would fall a lot, and that regional markets would see a loss of value as COVID restrictions fell away, played out
With the market slowing last year we saw trends Existing listings took longer to sell, lea increase in total listings while the number of n
coming to market fell While house price growth will eventually lead to new listings increasing, this is yet to occur across the market
If you ’ re considering selling, now is a great opportunity to capitalise on favourable conditions Take advantage of low stock levels & high buyer demand before you ’ re neighbour does
Our 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
As always, I am here to support you in all aspects of your real estate journey Please do not hesitate to reach out if I may be of assistance in any way
Warm regards,

CONNOR SUMMERS ~ LOAN MARKET
With the cash rate increasing by 4 percentage points since the start of 2022, many households have felt the pinch of rising interest rates Lenders often offer lower interest rates to new customers, so regularly checking the competitiveness of your loan compared to others in the market could help prevent you from paying more than you need to
Some reasons you may be able to get a better interest rate include:
1 You’ve been meeting or exceeding your repayments
Not only does this show the lender you are a reliable borrower, but if you are paying principal and interest, it will also bring your LVR down (the ratio of how much of your home you own vs the loan) A lower LVR could get you a more competitive rate
2 You’ve paid off other credit.
If you previously had a credit card, other loans or a HELP debt that you have since paid down or got rid of, the lender could view you as less risky
3 You’ve had a pay rise or gained full-time employment If your employment has changed to be more permanent or you have received a pay rise, you could look more favourable to a lender
4 You find a lower interest rate with another lender. This could provide better footing to negotiate with your current lender, or you could consider refinancing to the other lender There may be costs involved in refinancing, so be sure to ask your broker to run the numbers for you to determine if this is in your best interest
The expert team at Loan Market regularly reviews our clients’ loans They do the legwork to negotiate with their existing lender, or move them to one that better suits their needs Scan the QR Code to book online an obligation free chat today 0416 838 673 connor.summers@loanmarket.com.au
