Australian Property Market: Home Values Continue To Rise

 Australia’s property market is experiencing a period of sustained growth in 2025, with national home values reaching new record highs. As of April, the national median home value increased by 3.7% year-on-year, reaching $805,000, according to the PropTrack Home Price Index .

In Sydney’s Luxury Market, Demand Continues To Outpace Supply

In the early months of 2017, real estate agent Ken Jacobs was driving through the streets of Sydney, Australia’s prestigious Eastern Suburbs, showing jaw-dropping homes to an American client. The itinerary included a lavish penthouse in Elizabeth Bay, the historic Elaine home in Point Piper, which sold a few months later for a record-breaking $71 million (about $45 million U.S.) to an Atlassian cofounder, and a waterfront mansion in Vaucluse. As the pair cruised in a Range Rover, touring the affluent area that is flanked by the Sydney Harbor on the west and the Pacific Ocean on the east, Jacob’s client received a phone call from someone in the United States https://www.forbesglobalproperties.com/insights/in-sydneys-luxury-market-demand-continues-to-outpace-supply  

NAB survey reveals changing homebuyer preferences

Image
  The factors most important to homebuyers are changing as pandemic restrictions ease and the economy rebounds, a recent NAB survey of property professionals has found. While the need for a work or study area was important in 2021, the amount homebuyers are prepared to borrow to buy a home is now the top factor, the national survey of 370 investors, real estate agents, and developers showed. “The trade-off between affordability and lifestyle has changed markedly throughout the pandemic, with choices around CBD proximity, additional space and price fluctuating over the last two years,” NAB Executive, Broker Distribution, Phil Waugh said. “Buyers are thinking hard about their future lifestyle preferences to ensure their short-term hunt for value is the right choice for the long term.” Three out of four homebuyers surveyed nationally said the amount they were prepared to borrow was the most important factor in their purchase decision. https://www.theadviser.com.au/broker/42575-nab-sur...

Australia's looming election brings housing crisis into focus

Image
  Buying or renting a home has become unaffordable for the average Australian, driven by a perfect storm of astronomical house prices, relentless rental increases and a lack of social housing. With less than a month until the federal election, housing remains among the top issues for voters, and the country's two major parties – the Labor Party and the Liberal-National Coalition - have both pledged to tackle the crisis in a range of ways. Australians are already struggling under cost-of-living pressures and bracing for the effects of Donald Trump's global tariff war. And it remains to be seen whether either party will sway voters with their promise of restoring the Australian dream. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq5wlevy647o

Important Things To Remember When Renting A Moving Truck

Image
 Renting a moving truck can simplify your move, but there are key things to remember to ensure a smooth experience. First, check the truck’s size—ensure it’s big enough for your belongings but not too large to drive comfortably. Always inspect the vehicle for damages before leaving the rental location and take photos if necessary. Understand the rental terms, including mileage limits, fuel policy, and insurance coverage. Reserve the truck in advance to avoid last-minute stress. Also, make sure you have the proper license to drive the truck.
