All of a sudden, it’s all systems go!

We’re suddenly become very busy – and that’s good news.

It suggests the property market is stirring, and that perhaps the economy is heading for a better place.

What’s particularly interesting is that we’re getting enquiries from all kinds of clients:  

• First time buyers.
• Property investors.
• People looking to move up the ladder to a bigger home
• People doing ‘green renovations’, to make their homes more energy-efficient.
• Those close to retirement looking to buy their ‘forever home.’

The action isn’t concentrated in just one part of the market – it’s pretty much across the board. This tells us that something might have changed. What is it – and how might it affect you?

It’s not just about the OCR.

Interestingly, our phones started ringing before the Reserve Bank announcement last month. That suggests that something fundamental may have changed. Maybe people have weathered all the bad news, and are deciding it’s time to make a move.

Knowing this, what should you do?

If your house didn't sell earlier, maybe it's time to have another crack.

Many clients who listed properties over the past year didn’t get an offer they were happy with, so they decided to wait things out.

Maybe now is the time to talk to your agent again.

A new strategy or a fresh approach could mean you go to the market in spring 2024 and get a different response. With interest rates trending down, you may find there’s more energy and optimism in the marketplace.

If you’ve been biding your time to buy, consider whether now is the time.

If you’re still keen to get into your first home, or your next home, then it could be a smart move to do the sums again.

As always, it pays to talk to us first. We’ll help you with the numbers and advise on current bank rates as well as their recently enhanced lending policies. Things change rapidly in a dynamic marketplace, so make sure you get expert help with your mortgage strategy. As always, our advice is free.
