Autumn Market Update
Autumn Market Update Most were glad to see the back of a very hot summer, with it closing out on February 29 after a hot 42-degree day with a huge electrical storm. The market took a month to warm up in 2024, after a relatively quiet January. This was then followed up by a busy February which consisted of 33 transactions. Rental demand remains strong, always a good litmus test for the selling market, and investor enquiry has returned. With talks of easing interest rates mid-year, there are encouraging signs for the remainder of 2024. Similar to most NSW markets, ours remains stable, with a 0.8% increase in housing values throughout Summer in the 2330 postcode. The strong interest continues on properties up to $800,000 and we have seen excellent demand in the duplex market which sits around the $500,000+ mark. The continued activity of the first home buyer and the emergence of the retiree looking to downsize are playing major roles in driving the duplex and low maintenance residence demand. Further positive signs, with investors back looking at vacant land for duplex development. Some of our highlight sales throughout Summer: - 4 Carroll Street, Singleton which sold for a street record $1,320,000! One of the largest residential sale prices in Singleton's history. - 6 Eyre Close, Singleton Heights which sold for $775,550. $7550 above the listing price after 7 inspections and 2 offers. - 1/5 Lambkin Street, Hunterview which sold to a first home buyer for $540,000 after only 1 day on the market.

Summer Market Update
Summer Market Update Incredibly, 2023 is drawing to a close. The year has seen a stable real estate market that has eased over the last few months. The average 'days on market' has increased from 56 to 69 over the last 3 months. However, our office average sits well below this figure and currently sits at 53 days. The ongoing strength and growth within the mining industry along with the major infrastructure projects (Golden Highway flyover & Singleton Bypass) continue to provide stability and constant rental demand. Looking ahead, interest rates appear to be close to their peak which should return some certainty. With limited housing stock and a well documented tight rental market, prices in the established property market are expected to remain stable. Singleton still provides plenty of value for the investor. Some of our highlight sales throughout Spring - 1/35 Sinclair Avenue, Hunterview which sold for $21,000 above the asking price, within 5 days on the market, after 4 offers. - 12 Woodward Avenue, Singleton Heights which sold for $9,000 above the asking price after 18 days on the market. - 125 Casey Drive, Hunterview which sold for $900,000 after 21 days on the market. We listed some of Singleton's premier properties throughout Spring including: - 'Carinya' - 4 Carroll Street, Singleton, an architecturally designed 4 bedroom family home set privately off the street on 2544 square metres. - 8 Ardersier Drive, Singleton, a privately positioned 5 bedroom family home with a rural aspect and 1750 square metre block. - 15 Gas Street, Singleton, a spectacular 4 bedroom Singleton family home being offered for just the second time in 100 years. All current available properties - CLICK HERE Latest leased properties - 38 Brucedale Avenue, Singleton - $480 per week - 5/40 Cunningham Parade, Singleton Heights - $420 per week - 10 Lambkin Street, Hunterview - $680 per week Our average weekly rental currently sits at $450 per week, up from $410 this time last year.
