Recent interest rate cuts and changes to the first home buyer scheme are boosting demand, while migration trends are further intensifying competition for properties.
Lachlan also highlights the challenges buyer’s agents face when properties sell above traditional valuations, stressing the need for expertise and decisiveness.
Lachlan emphasises focusing on long-term investment potential rather than chasing bargains, with the right team and preparation key to success.
