May 2025 Top of the South Market Update

Wednesday 18 June 2025

The market! The market seemed to hit a bit of a wall mid-May, after 2-3 months of sustained high levels of activity on all price points. Our higher end stock has slowed a little this month but our first home market is still ticking away nicely! As we write this we are about to present 8+ offers on a property, this property is well priced, presented and promoted, that’s the key! Winter will go quickly and following that we should see the best periods in Real Estate for our region than we have seen for a few years, bring it on!
