Property Matters, August Newsletter
Welcome to the August edition of Property Matters.
Recent snow in the region has seen plenty of 'snowmen' appearings on the sides of the road between Bathurst and Lithgow, however the cold snap hasn't dampened demand for rental properties with vacancy rates still hovering around a very low 1.8%.
As well, we are now seeing signs that recent interest rate cuts are starting to have an impact on the market with July recording the highest volume of sales so far this year.
Many experts are predicting a future cut in interest rates prior to Christmas, we'd have to "watch this space"...
We hope you enjoy this edition!
