Melbourne Property market & Surrounds

The fear of a property slump has been surpassed by record property listings, auction clearance rates and an optimism that is driving demand and a strong market revival.
Here we explore in detail what saved the Victorian property market from further impact as a result of the pandemic, who has benefited from the upswing and where market growth lies for savvy buyers and investors, including John McGrath top suburb picks.

After flying under the radar, the past decade has seen Tasmania become a sought-after cultural and lifestyle destination, riding a wave of economic and property prosperity.
In property terms, 2021 was a record-breaking year for the Apple Isle, with property values dominating the country’s growth performance with dwelling values rising almost 30% in the 12 months to November 30.
And as it emerges from some of the toughest COVID restrictions in Australia fuelled by generous State Government fiscal policies and monetary support, will we see Tasmania continue to flourish as the economists predict?
