(Brisbane) Winter is coming

In this week’s episode of Taking Back Saturday, we say goodbye to the public holiday fog and federal election noise—and hello to a clear Brisbane winter (this is our season!). We break down the current state of the market: steady, fair and honest. The high and low ends are humming along, while the middle is stalling under the weight of mismatched buyer and seller expectations.We dig into why agents need to have honest conversations earlier (or risk letting the auction do all the work), what the recent data around average purchase time means for those hoping to be in a new home by Christmas, and why now might be a golden window for buyers before the market heats up again.Plus, we talk through the RBA’s upcoming decision, NAB’s bold interest rate predictions, and what a series of cuts could mean for affordability and buyer frenzy. As always, we keep it sharp, honest, and local.
