That was the hope, last year at least! Instead, the Reserve Bank has lifted the official cash rate for the third time in 2026.

Before you panic, take a breath. Higher rates don't mean the market has fallen over. Around Toowoomba, buyers are still buying, well-priced homes are still selling, and with rentals about as tight as they get, investors aren't being left out in the cold either.

We've broken down exactly what this rate rise means for you, whether you're thinking about selling or you've got an investment property.

But the best move is always a personalised approach. If you'd like to talk through what it means for you in particular, we're always happy to chat and review your position in this fluctuating market.

If you've been holding off until interest rates drop before you sell or buy another investment, 2026 has thrown a bit of a curveball. Rates haven't come down. They've gone up. Three times.

One of my buyers turned up with a batch of homemade cookies to say thanks for taking the time with them through the whole process. Thank you! Homemade treats are the best. 🤤 These won't last!!

You're not alone. Most people think about it for months before they do anything. Here's the thing though: right now, there are fewer homes on the market. That means serious buyers have less to choose from, and that works in your favour.

The people looking at this time of year aren't just browsing. They mean business.
If you've been going back and forth, it might be worth having a conversation. I'll give you a clear picture of where your place sits in the current market. No obligation, just the information you need to make the right call.

The rules have changed more in the last few years than they had in the decade before. And what your neighbour told you when they sold two years ago may not be the full picture anymore.

We've put together a plain-English guide to what's actually required before your property hits the market.

Most people selling their home focus on the things they can see. The marketing. The opens. The offer. The thing that quietly catches people out is the paperwork they didn't...

These two case studies show how the right renovation approach depends entirely on the market you’re working with, not just the home itself.

Both sellers achieved great results by matching their strategy to their property and location.

If you’re considering selling, it’s worth understanding your options first.
