Laing + Simmons|Hornsby March 2017 Newsletter Sydney property prices again rose by 5.2% in the final quarter of 2016. With many home owners deciding to stay where they are and not sell, the pressure on prices continues to rise. We are starting to see alternatives to home ownership with companies such as brick x offering buyers a share of a home for as little as $100. Rental demand also remains high with most of our properties leasing within the first week or two. Our vacancy rate has been consistent this year at under 1.5%. If you are looking to sell, lease or change your managing agency please contact our office today on 9477 3500. From Matt and the Laing+Simmons Hornsby team
