NEW LISTING
10 Traminer Grove, Cessnock Welcome to the 15th edition of Stone Property News for the Cessnock area. Happy New Year to you all and thank you to all my clients for your support during the last 12 months. The buyer activity is still far exceeding supply with most properties selling above vendor’s expectations. I have numerous buyers looking to buy in the Cessnock area within all price ranges, so if you are considering selling please give me a call today. On page 2, we have a Core-Logic market report on house prices nationally. As you will see in the graph Australian combined regional markets are by far outperforming the combined capital cities and we feel based on current activity this will continue for the near future.

Housing markets build momentum through the end of 2020, pointing to a strong start to 2021 Australia’s housing market finished the year on a strong footing with CoreLogic’s national home value index rising a further 1.0% in December; the third consecutive month-on month rise following a -2.1% drop in dwelling values between April and September. Australian home values finished the year 3.0% higher with regional housing values rising by 6.9%, a rate of capital gain that was more than three times higher than the combined capitals, where home values were up 2.0% over the year. CoreLogic’s research director, Tim Lawless, said the year was characterised by a mild COVID dip in values, but unprecedented volatility in the transaction space. “The number of residential property sales plummeted by -40% through March and April but finished the year with almost 8% more sales relative to a year ago as buyer numbers surged through the second half of the year. Despite the volatility, housing values showed remarkable resilience, falling by only -2.1% before rebounding with strength throughout the final quarter of 2020.” In retrospect, the rebound in housing market activity and dwelling values is unsurprising given the rapid and substantial monetary and fiscal response from the Government and policy makers. “Record low interest rates played a key role in supporting housing market activity, along with a spectacular rise in consumer confidence as COVID-related restrictions were lifted and forecasts for economic conditions turned out to be overly pessimistic. Containing the spread of the virus has been critical to Australia’s economic and housing market resilience,”Mr Lawless said.*

5 star experience - 12 Jan 2021 “I was hesitant in selling my property as I’ve had bad experience with agents in the past. I wasn’t ready to go through the stress again. However......I had the total opposite experience with Michael. He told me honestly and openly what the process would be and where the market was at. I decided to list with him and sold me property in 2 days with an outstanding result! I cannot speak highly enough about this man. He is honest, confident and so professional yet very down to earth. Nothing was a bother for him. He went over and beyond his call of duty. I will be recommending him to all my family and friends trusting that they will be in good hands!:)” Michael Hurley | 0491 012 003 Stone Hunter Valley 1A Cooper Street, Cessnock stonerealestate.com.au
