Much of the commentary of late regarding the state of the real estate market has had a negative slant, with the cost of living and speculation of looming interest rates hikes leading some to think the good times are over for sellers.

Standing at the coalface, where our agents are meeting buyers every week, it’s clear that there is still a strong appetite for property despite what’s being reported in the media.

Whilst there may be more choice for buyers, our offices are still reporting an overflow of buyers that are eager to buy in the next 30 days.

This past week the Barry Plant Eastern Group recorded a hugely successful week, with 24 sales in seven days and an auction success rate of over 90 per cent.
