Saturday’s result was widely predicted – we now have a new government in Australia and a new Prime Minister. The election of the LNP has been greeted by the business community throughout the nation with overwhelming positivity and we are hoping that it will inject some increased activity and confidence back into the economy. Time will tell, but good signs early on, with the stock market responding positively and many businesses reporting increased enquiry.
We continue to be extremely busy here and the momentum of the past few months has shown no sign of slowing down, with huge numbers through open homes each weekend and great Auction results. More listings are genuinely needed to keep up with demand – investors are well and truly back in the market, taking advantage of lower interest rates and there is also a growing number of people taking advantage of the more affordable market and selling their existing property to upsize. Whatever your motivation, this is an opportune to time to buy and a good time to sell as decreasing stock levels mean less competition.
Our team has welcomed a new Property Manager this week, Chelsea Smith. Chelsea has relocated to the Sunshine Coast to join us and has a wealth of experience in the real estate industry, including her passion – property management. An absolute extreme sport enthusiast, we’re sure she will fit into the Sunshine Coast outdoorsy lifestyle just perfectly!
Enjoy the rest of your week and the weekend… make sure you get out and about and soak up some of this glorious weather!
