it's not showing in the data yet but the tide is really turning, well in the suburbs I watch anyway. The good buys have been disappearing over the last few weeks and the main area I watch now has nothing particularly cheap left. stock levels have been dropping quite rapdily and this rate cut will give the market a little kick up. the time to buy in hindsight I think was 3-9 months ago. there was a screamer that went near me, started asking at $1.75m and sold for $1.2m, new owner is a professional renovator that is going completely over the place, probably spend $200-300k and go back on at $1.95m?
