Property Market Update 🏡📰
Herron Todd White’s September Month in Review is out. With the RBA’s fourth rate rise this year taking the cash rate to 4.60% and national dwelling values softening across most capitals, the property market is continuing to move through a clear cyclical shift.
Key takeaways from this month's report:
• Borrowing Capacity & Rates: The cash rate increase to 4.60% and stubborn underlying inflation (3.6%) mean buyers and investors are taking a more cautious approach.
• More Choice for Buyers: Total advertised listings are up 18.1% compared to last year, while sales activity has eased. Properties are now averaging 39 days on market, shifting more negotiating power toward buyers.
• Value Trends: National dwelling values fell 3.1% over the three months to August.
However, performance varies widely depending on your local suburb, lot size, and property type.
