June 2025 Quarterly Market Review

The past three months have been nothing short of eventful. We began the quarter with the Easter and ANZAC Day long weekends, which flowed directly into the lead-up to May’s federal election and the Reserve Bank of Australia's monetary policy meeting that same month.

This resulted in a notable shortage of new listings, which in turn intensified buyer demand. The outcome? Almost without exception, well priced properties that came to market were met with strong interest, multiple offers, and ultimately sold.

Sellers who took the opportunity to list during this time clearly benefited from a market with limited competition.

As we look ahead, we now enter what is arguably the busiest season for real estate. Spring brings a powerful mix of favourable weather, heightened buyer and seller activity, and the added motivation of the Christmas deadline – driving many to buy, sell, and settle in the months ahead.

For buyers, the market continues to show resilience in the face of broader economic pressures. Property prices remain strong, yet the good news is that entry into the market is becoming more accessible.

Supportive government legislation and competitive lending conditions are helping more first-home buyers step onto the property ladder. This is backed by recent ABS data showing a 6.2% year-on-year increase in first-home buyer activity.

Over the next three months, as always, Goulburn First National Real Estate is here to support you in whatever real estate goals you're pursuing.
