There is a Chill in the Air

Now that we move into the second half of the year (FYI it’s only 24 weeks until Christmas) and the winter season has finally arrived, we can give justification for wrapping up and whinging about the cold!  We tend to hover outside to capture the warmth of the sun during the day but are very quick to sneak inside to snuggle up at the first breath of chilliness.

Fewer homes are being listed for sale, which indicates that owners are either sitting and waiting to place their homes on the market, or everyone is comfortable where they are!  I like to believe both scenarios but for those holding back believing that the market may change into a seller’s market, they may be waiting some time.  Regardless, a home is only as good as what someone is willing to pay, and buyers are far better educated and knowledgeable than ever before.  There is one other party with an interest that we also need to consider and that’s the banks.  When either buying or selling, keep in mind that they will only lend what a home is worth! 


One thing is for sure and that is we do live in a wonderful location.  You only have to take a drive down Flinders Parade and watch the sun come up over the ever changing shoreline to realise how lucky we are.  What a fabulous way to start the day and how privileged are to be able to enjoy this every day!
