SQM Research turns 20 today. Started as a side gig with an idea and a crazy name. We’ve survived the GFC, COVID and a tough last three years. Huge thanks to our staff past and present, our clients and my family. Independent then, independent now. Plenty more to come. @SQMResearch

Sydney's results marks the lowest clearance rate on our records (since 2020), excluding Dec/Jan holidays, BUT NOW INCLUDING COVID LOCKDOWN. The clearacne rate is now below that first Covid lockdown panic period. I'd never thought we would report it that low. But there you have it. And scheduled volumes are going to be higher this week..

sqmresearch.com.au/property/… Our advertised rents @SQMResearch have been updated today. And it reveals some pick-up in advertised rents for houses but offset against falls in units. Net result was national advertised rents up by 0.2% for the past 30 days. sqmresearch.com.au/property/… If we are going to see a seasonal pick up in rents (typically Sep't - Dec) we should see it happen very shortly.
