1st Quarter 2014 Market on the up, will prices keep rising? In the September quarter Grants Market Update we predicted prices would begin to climb with renewed interest from local buyers. We are now seeing this be the start of the next growth cycle. It’s looking like 2014 will see improving market wide conditions as the market continues to recover. A number of factors are combining to drive the market higher in the first half of 2014, interest rates are now well under 5% vs last year when they were in the 6% - 6.5% range. This allows buyers to borrow more and creates greater competition for available properties for sale. The share market has also seen a strong finish to the year, the All ordinaries index was around 4,400 last year but has climbed to 5,400 with company income multiples at strong levels investors are again looking for solid returns with reduced risk and have begun to rotate into investment properties again. Auction clearance rates improved solidly over the last quarter of 2013 from 1st quarter levels around 55% to finishing the year above 75%, competition for quality property is continuing to climb. SMSF’s are also active in the market looking for properties that will be securely leased, this is creating competition for first home buyers who are being left behind by rising prices. It is encouraging that these positive signs have developed for the market in 2014, whilst it remains a recovery phase and there may be soft spots in the market in certain areas the outlook for City of Casey and Cardinia is certainly a positive one. In looking ahead for 2014 we see continued improvement in demand from buyers with more interest in the South East corridor as inner suburbs become more and more expensive - an overflow effect if you will with buyers priced out of certain suburbs looking further out. Inner city prices leading the way but South East corridor prices increasing over the next 3 years. House prices continuing to outperform units values over the medium term. Interest rates starting to climb in the 2nd half of 2014. If you have any questions regarding your specific needs, Grants agents are here to help you with expert market knowledge and exceptional service. Grants are the leader in our marketplace and we look forward to helping you move.

Pakenham Market Update !
!
!
!
1st Quarter 2014 Pakenham sales climbed as the year drew to a close, December being very busy with many buyers reentering the market and low numbers of houses on the market. Lack of stock on market remains, buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines are now eager to buy taking advantage of low interest rates and positive media reports regarding market conditions. Prices in the Cardinia shire are rising as less homes on the market combined with high prices in nearby suburbs take effect. Many buyers priced out of nearby suburbs are now looking to move into the area. Many properties are now seeing 7-12 buyers through open homes and multiple competing bidders trying to secure the property. Strong local, first home buyer and investor demand is currently directed toward a far depleted supply. With limited supply on the market, confidence returning to the economy and buyers seeing Pakenham and surrounds as a safe and thriving market prices will continue to rise.
