Like most of Victoria, Torquay has experienced a very cold week. Looking forward we have now officially passed the half way point of Winter and have the Spring and Summer months to look forward to. Similarly household owners and mortgage holders can breathe a sigh of relief looking forward with the RBA holding interest rates where they are – for now . This is positive news for home owners across Australia and good news for those investing in real estate.

On top of interest rates being untouched, Loan Market Group Spokesman Paul Smith said “a majority of Australians are not expecting anymore interest rate rises during 2011”. Many Australians will watch with anticipation to see if the majority of Australian’s are correct in believing we will not see an increase in interest rates.

Interest rates are telling a story of steadiness in the economy and this can also be said for the real estate market in Torquay. During the month of July, Great Ocean Road Real Estate Torquay have had a steady level of buyer enquiry resulting in a consistent month of sales. We have a number of happy vendors and buyers!

If July is anything to go by we can look positively towards the months leading up to Christmas and Summer.

See you on the coast….

The Real Estate Institute of Victoria has released figures showing median prices in regional Victoria over the past year increasing by 29% in some areas and plunging by almost 8% in others.

The year’s biggest winner was the Surf Coast Shire, which had a median price increase of 29% to $600,000.

According to this month’s Herron Todd White Westpac property report, prices for vacant land in regional Victoria remain strong, due to a lack of supply and increase in demand.
