What’s driving the market?

While last week’s modest rate cut hasn’t radically shifted borrowing capacity, it’s definitely injected a sense of optimism into the market. That sentiment translated into strong buyer engagement, and we saw firsthand how competitive the landscape becomes when the right property meets market expectations.

One of the biggest takeaways from the current market is that price alignment remains critical. Buyers are selective, but when a property’s value meets their expectations, competition becomes fierce – and that’s exactly what drove the premium outcomes we achieved last week.
