LISTINGS ACTIVITY
Updated results for May have shown listing numbers trending upwards , outpacing results seen in 2023 and 2022 . However , our preliminary June data indicates strong declines which are likely to be further spurred on by recent inflation results , reigniting discussion surrounding an increase in interest rates for this year .
This changing sentiment anticipates a further dampening effect on listing levels as both buyers and sellers adopt a “ wait and see ” approach . This cautious stance is particularly pronounced given the robust price growth observed across the country .
