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.

Set in one of Wilsonton's most tightly held pockets beside a neighbourhood park, this refreshed three-bedroom home attracted strong interest thanks to its move-in-ready comfort, future value-add potential and sought-after location close to shops, schools and the Toowoomba CBD.

With our background and knowledge in development, Kim and I have been working with town planners, council and surveyors to explore a number of options for our client.

In this case, the right planning and advice could potentially add significant value to the property.

So, if you have a property and you’re unsure what can be done with it, we can help you work through the options and map out the best path forward.

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...

Here's the only thing we keep saying to people who call: what this means for you depends entirely on your situation. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 holdings, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 income, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 plans. A real estate agent can't tell you that. Your financial adviser can.

We've put out a full blog on this very topic. https://bit.ly/realway-budget-analysis

Who's your go-to financial planner or accountant for property stuff? Drop them in the comments. Let's build a bit of a resource for each other.

And if you want to chat about the property side of things in the meantime, let's touch base!

Ask any agent who's been around long enough, and they'll tell you the same thing: the picture they had of a typical property investor before they started in real estate...

When Cooper and Emily Watson built RealWay Property Partners in 2012, they had a simple idea: look after people properly, and the results will follow.

Today, that looks like agents, marketing, admin, leadership, property management and investor support all working together.

Because selling a home is rarely just one decision.

Selling isn’t one-size-fits-all, and every home (and client!) needs a different approach. The difference is making sure the plan actually fits you and what you’re trying to achieve. If you’re even half-thinking about your next move, this is worth a quick read.
