While some suburbs and markets in the property market are experiencing a cooling of prices, interestingly other suburbs are experiencing faster selling rates than they were 12 months earlier. The suburbs that are selling fast have one thing in common – competition from buyers. What’s influencing the buyers for each suburb is a case by case basis, with the two main drivers being location and pricing in terms of affordability.
As you would expect there has also been a change in the country’s top performing capital cities in terms of price growth with Hobart being ranked number one, thanks to it’s strong economy, and Adelaide has come in as number two thanks to it’s lower pricing and steady economic growth.
