Sydney property has seen significant improvement after two interest rate cuts, tax cuts, reduced uncertainty around housing, more positive media and easing in the overly tight lending guidelines.

Buyer competition is revving up, as home buyers are borrowing money and looking for property to purchase, although sellers are yet to catch up with this momentum, returning to the market at a slower rate and creating somewhat of a demand gap. 

While latest Auction clearance rates sees properties selling under the hammer, the number of dwellings on offer are still low. Promising Auction results are contributing to climbing prices, and this will continue to entice sellers back into a growing market as we approach the historically busier spring selling season.
