On the selling side, choice is improving without overwhelming the market. New listings are up more than 12 per cent year-onyear, totalling 6,669 properties, giving buyers greater breadth and confidence in their options. Importantly, this lift in supply is being introduced in a measured way, supporting engagement rather than diluting it.

Digital behaviour is reinforcing this momentum. In the past 28 days, 6.882 million people engaged with Ray White’ s online platforms, an increase of nearly 49 per cent year-on-year. This level of earlystage activity typically precedes physical market engagement by several weeks and is increasingly translating into inspections, auction participation, and negotiated outcomes across the network.

Enquiry volumes have remained steady despite the sharp increase in audience reach. Rather than signalling hesitation, this reflects a buyer pool that is more selective, better informed, and increasingly prepared to act when quality and value align. It is a market characterised not by speculation, but by readiness.
