🏠🎥 THE BUZZ with Matt Johnston | April Property Market
We’re starting to see a noticeable shift in market activity across the Sutherland Shire with the Easter & Anzac long weekend behind us.
Buyer attention is back, open home numbers are building again, and importantly we’re seeing a surge in new listings coming to market.
Across the Shire, advertised stock levels have lifted by approximately 5 to 10 percent over the past two weeks. Many homeowners who were holding off until after the Easter / Anzac period are now choosing to act, taking advantage of strong buyer demand and relatively stable pricing conditions.
Now, one of the big talking points in the media right now and something that’s definitely creating conversation with both buyers and investors is the proposed changes to Capital Gains Tax and negative gearing under a Labor government.
So what does this mean for our local market?
At this stage, as these proposed changes have not been confirmed, we’re yet to see any genuine or measurable impact on the local market.
What we are seeing, however, is a natural increase in activity — with more listings coming online and continued strong buyer engagement across the Shire.
Overall, we’re moving into a more active phase of the market offering greater choice for buyers, while sellers are still benefiting from healthy competition.
If you’re considering a move in the coming months, now is an ideal time to start that conversation and put a clear plan in place.
Thank you for watching, we look forward to catching up with you in for next months wrap on the property market.
