What’s we know:

Australia’s population surged by 2.5% to 26.97 million in 2023, driven significantly by a robust 84% from net overseas migration.
May saw the unemployment rate drop to a promising 4.0%.
Auction markets are defying any winter slowdown, notably with Adelaide boasting a robust 75.8% auction clearance rate.
Australia is grappling with a severe housing undersupply, creating a critical supply-demand crunch that warrants urgent attention, and the situation is only expected to intensify.
Inflation has peaked, likely followed by interest rates, setting the stage for renewed consumer confidence and sustained market growth.
Rents continue their rapid ascent.
What’s the takeaway for the property market? Brace for price hikes. If you’re ready to buy, now’s the time to act decisively.
On the flip side, demand for commercial office rentals remains lackluster, with significant discounting still prevalent. Surprisingly, this hasn’t put a damper on new office construction projects.

Residential Buyer’s Agent

Dulwich Hill

We thoroughly searched the market and identified this gem in a low rise building in a cul-de-sac street with excellent street presence. Our thorough market search, property inspection, and due diligence ensured this property met all standards. We developed a robust auction bidding strategy that successfully outmanoeuvred the competition, resulting in a successful purchase under the hammer.

Commercial Tenant Representation

Sydney CBD NSW

Our client engaged our services to negotiate with their building owners as initial discussions with managing agents had proven challenging.

We stepped in, working diligently and smartly to press the managing agent and presented a compelling case for a lease adjustment. Our efforts resulted in securing a 5-month rent waiver and a further rent discount for the remainder of the lease term.

Sellers Advocacy Services

Alexandria

We’ve been tasked by our longstanding client to manage the sale of their spectacular modern home in the highly sought-after Alexandria area. The agent has been selected, and the property is set to hit the market this week. Keep an eye out for this one – it’s going to be something special!
