t's hard to believe that yet another year is drawing to a close. Borrowers had a rare reprieve last month with the RBA reducing the official cash rate to 4.5% in an attempt to compensate for the less-than-buoyant economic climate. In many markets around the country agents experienced the traditionally biggest auction day of the year on the last Saturday in November, with vendors getting in to finalise sales before the Christmas break. In Sydney these auction numbers were down 20 per cent on the same time last year when sales figures were considered abnormally high, but were up considerably on the three years prior. Australian Property Monitors senior economist Andrew Wilson predicts the Australian property market will continue to be flat as long as the debt crisis in Europe is unresolved and problems continued in the US economy. However property continues to be a sound investment compared to the volatile stockmarket, especially given that many markets continue to experience low rental vacancy rates and therefore rising rental prices. In Sydney rents are heading north. Over the past year we have seen Sydney rents increase by 5.9 per cent for houses and 5.4 per cent for units. Other cities with solid rental growth are Brisbane and Perth, where house rents are up 4.8 per cent and 10.1 per cent respectively and unit rents are up 8.4 per cent and 6.8 per cent over the year. The common denominator across Sydney, Brisbane and Perth's strong rental conditions is that new housing supply has been insufficient relative to population growth. One Agency agents have already started putting together sales campaigns for next year and have a number of listings that they are taking to market in mid January. With a lot of vendors away in early January it's prudent to get the marketing of properties organised and signed off before the holiday period begins. This ensures that we are ready to launch full steam ahead into the campaign in the new year.
Merry Christmas from all at One Agency.

THE BEGINNERS GUIDE TO AUCTIONS So you've found your dream home and you want to make it yours now! There's just one hurdle, it's up for auction. How do you prepare for this type of sale and how do you remain cool and calm on the day?
T
here ’s no denying it, for first home buyers especially, an auction can be exciting, stressful and maybe even a little terrifying if you don't know what to expect. The good news is that with the right planning and helpful guidance from a professional real estate agent such as One Agency, you can own your dream home and secure it at a price that matches your budget and it's true value. Before you bid on a property you need to make sure you have completed all of the essential research and preparation. This includes undertaking building inspections, securing your finance and reading the contract of sale, including the Vendor's Statement which includes information about rates, local government building restrictions and easements (if any). You may even want to ask your conveyancer or lawyer to check the fine print. Do some exploring in the area in which you wish to buy. You may want to check out median house price information or review the past sales results of properties in the vicinity to ensure you have a realistic purchase price in mind. An auction is usually held at the property itself. When you plan to bid at the auction you need to register your details when you arrive. Ensure you arrive early on the day so you can take one last look around the property. You'll also feel more relaxed and level headed if you have time to spare. Attending other auctions in the lead up to yours is also a great way to become accustomed to their pace and procedure. At the beginning of proceedings the auctioneer will describe the property and describe the contract. They will then begin taking bids. This is when the excitement really builds. Some buyers take along a friend or family member who bids for them if the task is a little daunting. As the auction unfolds don't be afraid to bid strongly and confidently, letting others know you mean business. If you are successful at the auction you'll be asked to sign the contracts and pay the deposit, so don't forget your cheque book! Once that's finalised, the only thing left to do is celebrate. You've jumped that last hurdle and bought yourself a home.
