Timing

So what’s the best time to buy?

We believe it’s always the right time to buy if you have found the right property.

Predicting the property market is difficult. People are nervous in the current market where prices keep moving.

So what do you do? Some are delaying buying. This may prove a good move since in Melbourne from 1990 to 1992 when Toorak, Melbourne prices fell dramatically. Or, it may prove to be of no benefit – for example, in the Sydney vs. Melbourne war, where the Sydney property median jumped 50% above Melbourne in one year in the mid-1980s, and has remained well above our prices since then. More recently prices have rocketed in 2005 and 2006 – but only in some areas and for some types of property.
