Interest rates are back in the conversation, with the RBA lifting the cash rate to 4.6%.
There’s no doubt rate movements influence confidence and borrowing capacity, but they’re only one part of the property picture.
What we continue to see is that good property still moves. Buyers are doing their homework, taking a little more time and being considered about where they see value.
For developers, that makes understanding the end buyer even more important. The right product, location, price point and timing all matter, and getting those decisions right early can make a significant difference to how a project performs.
Markets change and conditions shift. That’s part of property.
The opportunity is in understanding those changes, adapting where needed and continuing to make good decisions with a longer-term view.
