As We Head Into A Holiday-heavy Month, The Property Market Stays Active

As we head into the Easter break and prepare for Anzac Day, it's natural to expect a brief dip in open home attendance. School holidays, long weekends, and public holiday restrictions (remember: real estate trading is prohibited on Anzac Day) can throw off the usual flow. But don’t be fooled — the market is still very much alive.

Despite earlier uncertainty around interest rates, buyer activity has remained consistent. Many people are choosing not to wait for potential rate cuts later in the year, deciding instead to make their move now — especially in affordable and well-located suburbs.

Investor interest also remains steady, thanks to continued strong rental demand and limited available stock. Vendors are becoming a little more flexible too, often negotiating to get deals done in a changing environment.

As we move into a month of short weeks and public holidays, staying prepared and active could give you an edge. Whether you're buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on things, it's worth knowing that while the pace may dip briefly, the momentum is still there.
