NGU Ipswich's Market Wrap: Steve Athanates Breaks Down May

In this episode of Ipswich's Real Estate Podcast, Steve Athanates is joined by Matthew Taylor-Farrington from Purple Bunny Marketing to break down how the Ipswich property market performed in May 2026. NGU Real Estate Ipswich listed 121 properties and sold 78 homes for the month. Steve shares his view that January 2026 was likely the peak of the market, with prices now stabilising and more stock coming through which is actually great news for buyers who've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for less competition and better value. They also unpack the federal budget's impact on the investor market, and what that means for rental supply going forward. Plus, Steve gives his prediction on the upcoming RBA announcement and explains why Queensland remains one of the strongest property markets in the country while other states start to feel the pinch.
