Hi,
Yesterday we
enjoyed a visit from Katy, Aileen and Steph with their little
bubs. It's great to see all our RE/MAX mums are as gifted
with their babies as they are with real estate.
To see exactly
where the market is at the moment please find below the Herron
Todd White report which shows Brisbane currently at the peak
of our property cycle. Further articles include a RP Data
report showing there has been a bounce back in confidence
amongst Australians during July in the residential property
market.
Be sure to get out
this weekend and stop by some of our open homes.
Until next week
:)

Confidence
in residential property improves in July
Consumer sentiment data published by Westpac and
the Melbourne Institute this month shows there has been a
bounce back in confidence amongst Australians during
July. The Index gained 11.1% in July and has remained
above 100 points (an index value of 100 is where optimists and
pessimist are equally weighted) since June last year.
Since interest rates started rising in October last year the
Index had been trending downwards, however the July result
brings the confidence measure back well above the five year
average.
The latest figures show that Australians remain
reasonably optimistic about Australian economic
prospects. A stabilisation in interest rates, strong
jobs figures and some improvement in global financial markets
are likely to be the main drivers behind the
improvement.
A byproduct of the Consumer Sentiment Index is
the 'Time to Buy a Dwelling Index' which has also seen a sharp
improvement during July. This Index recorded a 15.6%
jump in July suggesting that consumers are viewing a
residential property purchase much more positively than they
were last month.

Even though there has been a surge in the Time
to Buy a Dwelling Index, Australian's remain much less
optimistic about the real estate market than they were at the
same time last year. The index is down 24% between July
2009 and July 2010 highlighting the slowdown in market
conditions that has been seen over the second quarter of 2010
(the RP Data-Rismark Hedonic Home Value Index showed home
value growth has virtually stalled in April and May –
see release here).
Looking
forward, the consumer mind set with regards to residential
property is likely to be largely influenced by the perceived
direction of interest rates. The consensus seems to be
that interest rates are likely to remain flat for the
foreseeable future; however the big test will of course be CPI
results which are released on July 28th.
A stable rate environment is likely to see more owner
occupiers viewing the residential market in a positive
light.
Despite this, it is unlikely that we will see
consumers viewing the residential property market with the
same exuberance as last year, especially considering that
value growth is now slowing and the historically low interest
rates seen through most of 2009 are well and truly behind
us.Source RP Data

Proactive & a Higher Standard of
Agent, You Made the Process Easier!
Just wanted to send you
a quick note to say thank you very much for the gift I
received from you yesterday. It was very nice of you. I have
to say you certainly made the whole process of the purchase a
lot easier and I really appreciate the proactive approach you
took to finalising the contract and closing out any issues
that arose. Much appreciated and certainly to a higher
standard than the majority of other agents I have dealt with
in my time.
Thanks again,
Nick
