Consumer Confidence Continues to Rise
This week's latest interest rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia ensures buyers are "able to borrow more, and more easily than they could 12 months ago because APRA (the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority) eased off on their serviceability limits." Cameron Kusher, REA Group Director of Economic Research has stated, adding that with four interest rate cuts since the Federal Election in May of 2019 "the cost of borrowing is cheaper." These factors have only further highlighted consumer confidence across the municipalities of Manningham, Whitehorse, Nillumbik and Banyule, along with an evidently lower amount of properties on the market for buyers to choose from.
As each week progresses, we are seeing more and more purchasers enter the market place with no plans of holding back until they have secured the keys to their new home. If you have considered the prospect of making a move, now is as good a time as any with all signs pointing to a continued positivity in the market place.
