While buyer engagement naturally eased off amid holiday disruptions, the longer-term trend remains intact. Ray White recorded 4.72 million online users in April, down 7.32 per cent year-on-year. This softening is in line with seasonal expectations, but enquiry volumes remain healthy overall.
Online enquiries totalled 37,790, a 6.01 per cent decrease on the same period last year.
LOAN PRE-APPROVALS

The lending environment continues to motivate buyers. While our partners at Loan Market processed 1,143 pre-approvals in April( a 44.2 per cent increase from April 2024), this figure reflects a 20.45 per cent month-on-month decline from March, in part due to the natural pause over holiday weeks.
Importantly, the year-on-year lift underscores growing buyer readiness and ongoing demand despite temporary fluctuations.
