On the precipice of demand – we remain Australia’s most affordable market…

  • After falling below $US 70c for the first time in a year, the Aussie dollar has risen to $US 71c.
  • The IMF has put pressure on Treasurer Frydenberg to undertake serious tax reform including cutting the corporate tax rate, increasing and/or broadening GST whilst compensating low-income earners and switching from stamp suty to an annual land tax to encourage people to move for jobs.
  • The latest Ray White Now is out with Nerida Conisbee providing great advice on Why to Sell in Summer.

  • Call me to see how this demand and supply scenario plays out for your personal advantage.
