Brisbane Conveyancing Market

Brisbane property Market fights back.

According to recent statistics released by CoreLogic (link) Brisbane has been one of the only Major capital cities to see growth over the last month, this sentiment has also been felt through our own Conveyancing volumes. Brisbane showed a 0.1% growth in September whilst other capitals like Sydney (-6.1%) and Melbourne (-3.1%) had been trending backwards.

What do the Local Brisbane Professionals think?

Our Conveyancing team reached out to local Brisbane Property Finance Expert, Mr Jayden Vecchio from Hunter Galloway to see his view on current property market.

“We've seen a 5-10% increase in home buyer activity this year even with all the doom and gloom in the media. There are still some strong incentives to buy, including the Queensland Governments Great Start Grant, and stamp duty concessions, historically low home loan rates and affordable house prices across the state. In particular this year we have noticed very strong pre-approval activity leading into the end of the year, which we find people want to be in their new home by Christmas. “

On the lending front, despite there being reports of mortgage rejections hitting 40% of applications submitted Mr Vecchio noted that “We have found while home loan applications are taking longer to get approved (with lenders following a more robust approval process) our home loan approval rates have remained over 91%. “
