Beacon Hill
Real Estate Snapshot
For my team and I it’s been really interesting to have worked in such a rapidly changing market, beginning with the impact of COVID-19 in February 2020
Following government stimulus measures, the median price in the area increased approx. 30% and peaked at $2.25m in October 2021.
From there, the market underwent a significant downturn, primarily driven by 13 interest rate increases, which led to a market trough in December 2022, with median prices falling to $1.78 million. Despite these challenging conditions, the market has made a strong recovery over the past 12 months, with median prices for the first quarter or 2024 back on par with the 2021 peak.
Strong employment figures have bolstered buyer confidence, while the desire to upsize into larger properties has driven demand. Additionally, the rising cost of building has made “turn-key” properties more attractive, as buyers look to avoid costly renovation projects.
In particular, finance-approved buyers are focusing on certain desirable property features. These include flat level blocks, close proximity to cafes, schools, and transport hubs, indoor-outdoor flowing floor plans, and pools. These preferences reflect a shift towards a more lifestyle-oriented approach to home buying, with buyers seeking properties that offer convenience and a high quality of life.
What’s next for 2024/2025?
Buyers are not sitting on their hands, they’re making decisions and vigorously pursuing properties that fit their needs across all price points which is creating a strong balanced market for 2024 and 2025
