End of Financial Year market review

Hi everyone,

As we approach the end of the financial year, I want to thank you for your continued trust and support.

The Epping market: resilient and in demand

The Epping property market continues to show incredible resilience. Currently, we are experiencing very strong buyer demand paired with limited housing supply. Despite shifting economic conditions, specific property types are attracting massive interest from highly qualified buyers, driving exceptional outcomes for our clients.

Our past 12 months by the numbers

Thanks to the dedication of my incredible team, we have achieved outstanding results over the past year:

Where are we growing now

Australia's population grew by 1.5 per cent to 27.8 million over the year to December 2025, the Australian Bureau of Statistics announced this week. This represents a growth of 412,500 more people than in December 2024.

We just need more homes

Higher prices and a shortage of rental accommodation are symptoms of a shortage of housing stock, not the cause, peak housing body HIA said this week.

According to HIA Chief Economist Tim Reardon, Australia needed to build more than 250,000 homes last year just to keep pace with demand growth and begin reducing the housing shortage.

“And yet we commenced less than 200,000 homes. This is why home prices and rents are rising”, he added.

'Hacks' to half-truths: beware misinformation

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is warning the community to be wary of incorrect or misleading information this tax time, particularly claims promising greater refunds, shortcuts or hacks.

The ATO is seeing a rise in tax-related content and ‘tips’ being shared - especially online - and is urging taxpayers to treat unverified advice with caution.

Dry, don’t fry

Winter means we use the clothes dryer more often and perhaps for items we would normally leave in the sun to dry, like runners the kids need for school tomorrow or Dad’s greasy overalls.

Yet there is an inherent danger in putting those runners or other flammable articles into the dryer in the first place.

‘Floor Area’ covered

The 'Floor Area' of a building is a measure* of the amount of useable space in a building (and its attachments) at the final stage of construction. It is measured in square metres.

The boundary of the floor area is delineated by the external perimeter of the exterior walls of the building, but the area under unenclosed verandahs, carport etc., attached outside the exterior walls is excluded.

* According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics

Moss off

Driveways, paths or steps around the house that are covered in moss can become dangerously slippery, particularly after rain. One way to quickly remedy the problem could be to pour boiling water over the specific plants you want to remove. After a few days, the remnants can be swept away and put into the green bin.

Alternatively, spray a solution of 50/50 water and vinegar on the moss, leave for 15 minutes then scrub off. Remember to use gloves and protect nearby plants.
