When The Property Wheels Fall Off!

Latest data shows that more recent property purchases are being sold not long after buying, and some are going for a loss relative to their previous purchase prices (plus of course the various costs of transfer).

This is another sign of rising distress in the markets, with a focus on recent buyers (especially first time buyers in the past coupled of years) now faced with surging mortgage repayment costs. Areas in Melbourne and Sydney are most impacted so far.

Today’s post is brought to you by Ribbon Property Consultants.

If you are buying your home in Sydney’s contentious market, you do not need to stand alone. This is the time you need to have Edwin from Ribbon Property Consultants standing along side you.

Buying property, is both challenging and adversarial. The vendor has a professional on their side.

Emotions run high – price discovery and price transparency are hard to find – then there is the wasted time and financial investment you make.

Edwin understands your needs. So why not engage a licensed professional to stand alongside you. With RPC you know you have: experience, knowledge, and master negotiators, looking after your best interest.

A Retail Conundrum

The latest from the ABS on retail turnover looked superficially stronger (and again the MSM went to town). But correcting for population growth and inflation it is a different story, and we know some are cutting back hard, while others are spending big on the offers and discount incentives. Nothing here to stop the RBA, in my view.

In this weeks live stream I will be joined by our regular property inside Edwin Almeida to explore the real stories about property gone bad.
