APOLLO BAY- MARKET ROUND UP

The strength of the current market shows no signs of slowing, fuelled by a combination of unprecedented buyer demand, low stock levels and record low borrowing costs which will continue after the Reserve Bank of Australia announced it will keep official interest rates on hold after its monthly meeting at the beginning of May.

RBA governor Philip Lowe repeated that the RBA board will not increase the cash rate until actual inflation is sustainable within its 2-3% target range and it did not expect the required economic conditions to be met until 2024 at the earliest. “Low rates, and the expectation they will remain low for several years, have been a key driver of the increases in housing prices over the past year,” he said.

While demand continues to outstrip supply, vendors feel more confident and more owners look to take advantage of the strong selling conditions and higher prices. A realestate.com.au survey conducted in April put seller confidence at its highest level since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Nationally, 48% of respondents believe now is a good time to sell property, a 10% increase compared to December 2020.
