Amongst all the recent election distraction you may have seen and read media reports on the current climate of the housing market and its reportedly poor performance. But is it all really doom and gloom? We see that there is a silver lining.
With the South-West region of the Illawarra rapidly changing and more developments springing up it presents purchasers with more choice than ever before. It’s a buyers’ market right now. After an abnormally buoyant market in the last few years the market is currently in a stabilisation phase. Whilst prices remain relatively flat, or even receding and more home sites currently available on the market for the last 12 months compared with what we have seen over the last few years, this gives buyers more choice and the time to choose carefully.
But is the reportedly poor performance recently a cause for concern? Let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Economic Growth in NSW and the Illawarra is still positive, and unemployment is still near record lows . In addition, the Federal Government has announced a deposit assistance scheme for first home buyers and APRA has reduced (or will) reduce the benchmark interest rate for assessing a person’s ability to service their mortgage.
