We’ll see tomorrow when the bank makes another rates decision. Hopefully that will be the perceived bottom and things will pick up afterwards.

I agree - but if people are expecting another rate cut, they will wait for that. Why pay more, especially if house prices will drop further in the meantime?

This should pick up a little with the recent rate cut, if it’s passed on. Surely?
