We can touch on those in a minute.

But I think looking at the different

price points.

Anything that's $750,000 to $850,000, which is really the sweet spot for first-time buyers, their lending options cap out for the 5% lending option caps out at $850,000.

So we're really finding that that's the ceiling on where they're going to.

That segment in the market, I think, is going to have 10% to 15% of growth further.

Then the sub $750,000, that's still very active.

It's

And then we've got the people that are upgrading from those price points into the higher price points and better locations in the sort of 850 to a million and two.

I think that segment's going to have a solid 15%.

And then the upper end is probably going to have 10% still.

So you'd struggle to get under 10%, especially if you've got a well-located property without any major negatives.

Well, we had investors probably driving about 70% of transactions around the median house price, and especially in lower prices in the quartile below the median for most of last year.

But they started to die off a little bit across September onwards.

So that very much switched the other way towards first home buyers driving our market with around 70% of first home buyers being the ones that are securing properties in that sort of price points.

And then of the 30%, we've seen local investors start to pick up and take off where the East Coast investors are leaving or not purchasing here as much anymore.

So the local investors are probably 20% of that 30% of investors in the market at the moment.

Well, we did see things starting to slow a bit and affordability biting from September of 2024 through to March of 25 when we actually had our first interest rate reduction last year in Feb.

And that was really much needed and it gave people confidence that, okay, things aren't going to keep going up with interest rates.

We can plan ahead.
