Article by Connor Tait 4 min read.
As the early signs of spring grace Wangaratta, the local real estate market is already abuzz with activity. The warming weather has ushered in a surge of new listings, indicating a promising start to the season. If you’ve been contemplating entering the market, now is the time to take action.
Rising Volume of Listings
The month of August has seen a remarkable increase in new listings hitting the market. From the usual 22 new listings, we’ve witnessed a surge to an impressive 32 properties now up for grabs. This surge in supply is a clear indicator that the market is in full swing and ready to accommodate those eager to buy or sell.
Diverse Property Offerings
The current wave of new listings encompasses a diverse range of properties, catering to various preferences and lifestyles. Popular options include low-maintenance townhouses that are ideal for investors, downsizers, and professionals seeking a convenient lifestyle. Additionally, mid-tier properties ranging from $500,000 to $650,000 have emerged as a sought-after price point. Lifestyle sellers are also gearing up, encouraged by longer days, blooming wattles, and the warmth in the air. If you’re in search of a lifestyle change, keep your eyes peeled for exciting opportunities on the horizon.
Anticipating Opportunities
Over the past six months, there has been a minimal launch of lifestyle properties, creating pent-up demand among potential sellers. This scenario is expected to open up a plethora of new choices for lifestyle buyers, ushering in a wave of fresh possibilities in the market.
Positive Buyer Sentiment
With the Reserve Bank of Australia pausing interest rates for the second consecutive month, buyer sentiment remains strong. This stable interest rate environment further bolsters the appeal of entering the real estate market during this opportune time.
Insights from Industry Experts
Our interactions with local lenders have confirmed the robust trajectory of lending activity for both residential and commercial loans, indicating a healthy market appetite for property investments.
Furthermore, insights from realestate.com analysts have revealed an early spike in new listings, showing a remarkable 20% increase compared to the previous 2-3 years. This surge follows an unconventional Spring in 2022, which was marked by heavy rainfall and atypical campaign dynamics.
