What’s in Store for the Property Market in Spring 2023?

Spring is traditionally a time of renewal and growth, and this year, the property market is no exception. Today, we dive deep into the heart of the property market, with our focus squarely set on the unfolding drama of Spring 2023. We explore the burning questions that homeowners, investors, and renters across the nation are eager to have answered. "What’s in Store for the Property Market in Spring 2023?"

In this episode, we're joined by a true expert in the field, Corelogic's Head of Australian Research, Eliza Owen who is not only the author of the acclaimed "Pain & Gain Report," but is also a master at deciphering the enigmatic language of property data. Our conversation begins with the ever-pressing question: Will Spring 2023 bring forth a surge in new property listings, and if so, what will it mean for the delicate balance between supply and demand? Will this finally be the turning point where prices stabilise or even dip? We examine the data, unpacking the potential consequences for buyers, sellers, and the broader market.

And, of course, we can't forget the rental market, where whispers of a slowdown in rental price growth have left many puzzled. Despite a lack of new supply, why are rental prices not following the usual upward trajectory? Eliza Owen will provide her insights into this intriguing phenomenon.

Join us for a riveting conversation as we unveil the trends, forecasts, and data-driven insights that will shape the property market's course throughout Spring 2023.
