Rising but stable, REIA says
The December quarter of 2023 saw property prices in the Australian residential housing market increase overall, according to a report released this week by the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA).
Hi everyone
I wanted to take a moment to extend my warmest wishes to each of you celebrating Easter this weekend and to everyone, as we approach this holiday weekend, I wish you a safe and enjoyable break with family and friends. I hope you find time to unwind and enjoy nature.
Personally, I'm looking forward to getting away. We will be heading south to Victoria to catch up with my son and his family who are camping near the Murray River. It is always nice to step away from our everyday routines (occasionally) and spend quality time together.
On Saturday, we had two successful auctions for 97 Agincourt Road, Marsfield selling for $2,410,000 as well as 5/32 Victoria Street, Epping under the hammer for $728,000. All purchasers and our vendors couldn’t be happier with the outcomes. More to come after our Easter break!
This week on The Real Estate Conversation, John McGrath discusses how Capital growth is now stronger for cheaper homes.
The Epping Bulls Cricket Club and Epping Football Club have amazing teams and are well worth your support. I am a proud sponsor and encourage you to get involved. They will appreciate your support, even if only watching a game or match.
In the meantime, I encourage each of you to take advantage of this extended weekend. Whether you're indulging in some Easter treats, embarking on a new adventure, or simply taking it easy, I hope it brings you joy and rejuvenation.
Best wishes
Betty and team
