Harcourts Move – May 2023 Update

Published on: 22 May, 2023

Hello, and welcome to the Harcourts Move update for May 2023!

The weather has certainly turned quickly and it is hard to believe we are nearly halfway through 2023. Here are some interesting notes about the Melbourne Real Estate Market:

  • The last few months has seen Melbourne house processes show a small uptick in April of .01%. If you are thinking of buying, it is a good time to do so.
  • Our short-term rental properties continue to be in demand with a large number of investors with properties in 10km radius seeing great returns

Business Update

I am excited to introduce you to Lisa McConaghy, she is joining us as a Senior Property Manager with significant experience. 

Deanna made the decision to move to Cairns earlier this year and we wish her all the best. 

Apart from her experience, the key reason why we brought Lisa onto our team is her high levels of understanding and empathy with our owners and tenants. 

Over the next few weeks, Lisa will be touching base with you to introduce herself.
