Interest rate hold brings relief

By Jo Kennett

THE BOSS of the Reserve Bank has put interest rates on hold after the annual rate of inflation fell to 6 per cent, down from 7.8 per cent in December, giving mortgage holders and renters a much-needed reprieve.

The good news will provide confidence for nervous buyers and sellers in the local market and hopefully bring some muchneeded stability after the barrage of rate rises left many vulnerable households reeling.

JET Real Estate

Director and licensee of JET

Real Estate Jason Dittmar said he was seeing a lot of locals in the property market at the moment.

“There are a lot of locals in the market with families upsizing for space to accommodate growing families, while there are also a lot of retirees downsizing from double-storey houses to single level with space for their caravan or motorhome, as well as farmers moving to town on larger blocks with privacy,” Jason said.

“There are also quite a few

purchasers needing to sell before buying, which is understandable because they don’t want to be caught out not finding their ideal property and having to contend with finding a rental which is in very short supply.

“There is currently a shortage of supply for vacant blocks, three to four bedroom larger homes at Nunderi and Dallis Park, and five acre farms with usable space ten minutes from Murwillumbah.

“Properties priced correctly will attract a fair price in a reasonable time.”

Jason said there was still a very high rental demand for affordable housing “as well as quality property for long-term tenants.”

“Even if property owners are not considering selling or renting, it is an ideal time to catch up with JET Real Estate to discuss ways to maintain your property for investment in your future,” he said.

Tate Brownlee

Tate Brownlee principal Tate Brownlee said that he was seeing the most interest for Tweed property coming from the cities and other states.

Open Homes

“There are lots of interstate buyers and lots of Sydney interest,” he said.

“We have seen demand increase in the market.

“There is a shortage of supply indicating now more than ever the perfect time to list before distressed selling becomes more apparent with rising interest rates.”

Schmith Estate Agents

Schmith Estate Agents principal Justin Schmith said the majority of queries he was getting were coming from Victoria, and Melbourne in particular “is a massive standout buyer pool at present.”

“Can you blame them with our weather,” Justin said.

“The market is all over the place and hard to predict.

“What is very clear, is anything turn key, low maintenance and ready to move in is doing very well.

“Anything needing work, not so much.”

Justin said rural acreage property has gone back to normal

days on market, around six to 12 months.

“We are still getting good offers, it’s not the buyers that are the problem,” he asked.

“There is still a slight lack of stock but this may change soon at any point.

“Confidence is still a little shaky and you see that in the indecisiveness of both buyers and sellers.

“Rentals are interesting; all the hype about under supply and high demand is true for rentals up to $750 per week.

“Anything over this market, say $900 per week plus, is starting to get tricky.

“Some people are just hanging

onto their homes under the mortgage stress/slave to the mortgage repayments and there will still be more interesting times to come.”

Many economists think the muchmaligned Reserve Bank governor Phillip Lowe, who will be replaced by Michelle Bullock in September, has made the right call on interest rates.

Considering the lag on the effect of the recent rate rises on inflation, which rent rises help to keep high, and the corporate price gouging which global indicators show has been the biggest cause of high inflation, it seems a prudent move.
