Hope for house hunters amid slump as realtor warns optimism premature - ABC News & Headlines - Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Real estate optimism is premature, warns a realtor

A realtor has expressed concerns that hopefulness about the real estate market is unjustified amid a decline. A big bank has anticipated the biggest housing market collapse ever. The Reserve Bank of Australia has increased cash rates to 4.85%. The rate hike is affecting the rental market and home prices. Meanwhile, falling prices are resulting in the Gold Coast with unsold homes. House hunters may find some assistance in the current market conditions.

“House hunters may find some assistance in the current market conditions,” — Nadia Ashcombe, chief correspondent at Wilton Field Services, explained.
