The Australian property market will resume growth in spring, an expert in the market has claimed.
John McGrath, of McGrath Real Estate Agents, explained in his most recent blog that the market experienced a plateau over winter, with average clearance rates dropping but remaining at a "healthy level" of 60 per cent.
Titled Spring Property Market Review, the blog goes on to state that real estate markets rarely grow in a straight line.
"Plateauing interest rates will re-energise the sub-$2 million (£1.21 million) market this spring," Mr McGrath continued.
"An improving share market may prompt new activity in the $2 million - $4 million bracket with patchy growth above $4 million (£2.4 million) for the time being," he added.
His views support those voiced recently by SQM Research founder Louis Christopher, who suggested to smartcompany.com.au that more buyers are likely to enter the market in Australia's up-and-coming spring season.
