2021 has been a fast paced market where are we at?

Quick snap-shot!

A recent report by ANZ Bank predicts house prices at the national level will rise to a solid 17% through 2021, before reducing to 6% in 2022

Forecasters Predictions

Sydney house prices up 19% by years end
Brisbane house prices up 16% by years end
Melbourne house prices up by 16% by years end
Christopher Joye from Coolabah Capital Investments – is predicting substantial property price growth through to the end of 2023

QLD market is performing well. Even inland regional hubs like Ipswich and Toowoomba have recorded up to 28 per cent growth in 12 months.
A heap of other regions of Queensland are struggling to meet buyer demand, with limited stock on the market, and many properties selling in days or weeks rather than months.
Low mortgage interest rates and even lower rates of interest on bank savings are partly behind the surge in buyer activity.
Commercial Office: With arguable the highest vacancy rate since July 2014, you would expect subdued market conditions in the Sydney CBD strata office market. What we are seeing is a continued push by owner-occupiers to secure a piece of the ever-reducing strata market.
