    Around The Grounds #21 - Rate Rises, Prestige Property & What the Headlines Miss

    What do another interest rate rise, the Budget and dramatic property headlines mean for buyers on the ground? Jason Baron, Nick Meredith and Hugo Fonseca unpack the latest market conversation, including how borrowing power and buyer confidence are affecting decisions. They also question whether some media headlines reflect what they’re seeing at inspections and in negotiations. Across Brisbane, Noosa, the Sunshine Coast and the NSW Central Coast, the team discusses rising stock levels, more off-market opportunities, changing seller expectations and what’s happening at the prestige end of the market. More choice can give buyers time to do their homework and room to negotiate. But a property that’s been sitting on the market isn’t automatically a bargain. The team explains why local knowledge, due diligence and the right price still matter. Real conversations and on-the-ground insight from The Property Baron’s buyers agents.

    Around The Grounds #20 - Waiting for the Bottom? What’s Really Happening Across the Property Market

    Is now the right time to buy property, or should buyers keep waiting for the market to reach the bottom? In this episode of Around the Grounds, Jason Baron is joined by Nick Meredith and Hugo Fonseca to share what they are seeing across the Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Central Coast property markets. The team discusses increasing buyer activity, stronger attendance at open homes, Brisbane auction clearance rates, changing seller expectations and the return of opportunities across several price points. They also explore why trying to perfectly time the bottom of the property market can be risky. While some property prices have softened, interest rates and reduced borrowing capacity may leave buyers with fewer options if they wait too long. With fewer new homes being approved and built, construction costs remaining high and housing supply still limited, quality properties in strong locations continue to attract attention. In this episodeAre buyers returning to the property market?Busier open homes and increased buyer confidenceBrisbane’s growing use of auction campaignsChanging seller expectations across Noosa and the Sunshine CoastOff-market property opportunities in NoosaCentral Coast property prices and buyer activityWhy buyers are waiting for the bottom of the marketThe effect of interest rates on borrowing capacityFirst-home buyer confidence and negative equity concernsProperty supply, construction costs and building approvalsGovernment policy and its effect on market sentimentWhy local knowledge matters when reading the property marketThe importance of buying the right property for the long term No headlines.
