Happy New Year

2009 - National Property Picture


National property values were up 10 percent over the first 10 months of the year. However the number of transactions are down even though demand for property is growing thanks to record population growth and improved confidence in the broader economy.

Outlook for 2010

- fairly upbeat
- expect investor and 'upgrader' numbers to continue to improve
- consumer confidence remains high
- medium to long term growth prospects remain healthy
