Southern Highlands Property Update 21st August

In this week’s Property Update we look at the exclusive village of Burrawang – where property prices are really on the rise, tips and hints on how to declutter your home before selling, how much value can landscaping add and we showcase Briar Cottage, Old Bowral.

 

Private treaty, auction, expression of interest or off-market? What’s best and what’s best for you and much more in The Fold.

 

Plus – it looks like Spring and the recent interest rate drop is starting to take effect, too! If you would like your property featured on The Fold – drop us a line.

Southern Highlands property market at a glance

Property numbers grow.

Based on real estate property listings on major platforms, there are some 681 properties for sale in the Southern Highlands market, up from some 607 last week. These figures consider the number of sales, new listings and, in some instances, properties being removed from the market. Are these figures a reflection of the approach of Spring and last week’s reduction in the RBA’s interest rate decision? Maybe.

Houses – 454 

Units – 16 

Townhouses – 18

Land/rural – 129
