23.01.2022 + News Yesterday the Reserve Bank of Australia announced their decision to reduce the official cash rate to 0.10% from the already historically low rate of 0.25%. This action was taken with the intention to support job creation and the recovery of the Australian economy caused by the global pandemic. In Australia, economic recovery is expected to be under way and positive GDP growth achieved in the September quarter, despite the lengthy and tight restrictions in Victoria.... The Board is not expecting to increase the cash rate for at least three years, and they have explicitly stated they are prepared to do more if necessary. Australia continues to remain in a strong position for recovery.

22.01.2022 It is no surprise given the global pandemic and economic hardship our nation is currently facing that the RBA has made the decision to hold the cash rate. Victoria entering a State of Disaster and implementing further restrictions indicates the effects of the pandemic on our economy are far from over. The RBA slashed the rate in March to a historically record low of 0.25% as an emergency action in response to the pandemic. They have communicated that they will hold the ra...te at 0.25% until progress and recovery is being made towards full employment. The RBA will continue to be proactive in keeping funding costs low in Australia and credit available to households and businesses. The board has outlined that they are committed and will do what is necessary to assist in supporting jobs, incomes, and businesses during this challenging and uncertain period. The extend of downward pressure on our economy is still unknown, yet Australia remains well positioned for a full recovery.

You can take advantage of the lifestyle opportunities around you Do you live near a beach? Do you have a pool? Do you have an amazing outdoor entertaining space? Are you in close proximity to cafes, bars & restaurants? Are there some fun events happening in your local area? These are all perfect things to take advantage of when you’re selling in summer. People are in the mood for some fun and relaxation, so give your potential buyers a glimpse of the holiday-like lifestyle they could have if they lived in your home! Serious buyers only You are less likely to encounter property tyre-kickers during summer. Taking time away from the many family and social commitments that the warmer weather and Christmas season always brings, means that the potential buyers who show up to your open for inspection mean business. People are looking for a fresh start 2020 hasn’t been kind to us, and there are many people looking for a way to wipe the slate clean. With working from home more common and financial circumstances changing, that will likely mean reassessing their home and lifestyle needs.

13.01.2022 The last few months we have seen a remarkable shift in customer behaviour. With increased time being spent at home, Victorians are devoting significantly more effort to searching for property online. Buyer search enquiries have increased across both realestate.com.au and domain.con.au. This indicates that ... Victorians remain highly engaged in real estate, and that there are many active buyers in the marketplace. In terms of the impact that the pandemic is having on dwelling values, were certainly seeing buyer and seller confidence diminish slightly, as it typically does during periods of uncertainty. Australian house prices recorded their 4th consecutive monthly decline of 0.4% in August. Melbourne experienced the biggest fall throughout the month out of all the capital cities. This highlights the impact that a more predominant viral outbreak has on the real estate industry. It seems the performance of the property market directly correlates with the extent of the Government restrictions in place, which also relate to employment levels, buyer sentiment and economic conditions. We expect property prices to stabilise and improve once restrictions in Melbourne begin to ease. Whats important to note, is the decline in dwelling values have been mild and orderly and in line with the state lockdowns. Annually, property prices are still up 5.9% in Melbourne and 3.7% in Regional Victoria. We have every confidence that the property market will bounce back and make a full recovery. The Federal Budget will be released on the 6th of October, which will provide more clarity on the timeline of recovery and the direction the property market will take, following a period of economic hardship. #economy #realestate #property #metropolitanmelbourne #regionalvictoria

12.01.2022 Why Spring is still the perfect time to sell your home Spring has typically been the most popular season for home sales Australia wide and the busiest time of year for us real estate Agents. The market tends to heat up along with the weather and an abundance of active buyers begin to emerge. Things are obviously a little different going into this Spring, as we work collectively as a nation to beat the global pandemic and flatten the curve. ... A question thats commonly being asked by customers during this time, is are there active buyers currently in the market? The answer is yes. Buyer demand and buyer enquiries have surged during this time. The latest restrictions have had almost no impact on the amount of traffic and users visiting realestate.com.au. There has also been significant year-on-year growth in the number of users on the buyer section of the website since mid-April. This highlights that buyer appetite is increasing and Australias immense focus on property remains. Due to the pandemic, we are naturally seeing less than normal stock on the market. The advantage to this means that there is currently more competition for properties out there and more customers viewing the properties currently for sale this Spring. We have many active buyers in our database who are ready to buy, and we have all the technologies in place to facilitate the signing of any necessary paperwork digitally. Properties can be sold, leased, or bought during this time through our seamless, paperless process. In addition to this, there are many other factors that instil us with confidence that this season presents a tremendous opportunity to sell. With the Federal Government monetary support, Australians and small businesses have been able to better position themselves and endure the effects of the pandemic. Further to this, the Reserve Bank of Australia has provided $90 billion to the banks at a record low cash rate of 0.25 per cent. This is to safeguard a readily available cheap line of credit throughout this crisis. We are confident that this Spring presents a fantastic opportunity to sell your home or at least welcome a free property virtual valuation. Reach out to your local Hodges property professional today, we are online, and ready to assist you with digital solutions and innovative technologies. Beat the Spring rush and experience firsthand that you get more with Hodges!

06.01.2022 Below is a synopsis of the Melbourne property market by Realestate.com. Buyers will continue to be active post lockdown and Vendors will be keen to take advantage of the increased demand for quality properties, especially in the Bayside area. - The spring selling season will be different this year... At this stage, the outlook for the spring selling season in Melbourne remains uncertain, but if stage 4 restrictions are lifted as planned in mid-September we will likely to see an extended season. Here are my top four predictions: 1. Buyers will be active A sharp increase in first-home buyer enquiry on realestate.com.au since the beginning of the year, off the back of government incentives like the 5% deposit scheme, HomeBuilder and record-low interest rates, could be unleashed post-lockdown. 2. Investors will remain subdued Additionally, investor activity will likely remain quiet with international borders still closed, creating an even more optimal environment for first-home buyers. 3. Vendors will be keen to take advantage While some vendors will be more cautious about market conditions post-lockdown, many others will be taking advantage of the strong demand. There will be an increase in distressed sales in some markets, however the extension of JobKeeper and JobKeeper payments, as well as mortgage holidays means we probably wont see a sharp increase in these types of home sales. 4. Prices will remain steady Prices to remain flat but highly variable within capital cities and across states
