We\'ve seen a bit of change in the market lately. Sales are still happening but it\'s a little quieter probably due to the announcement of unemployment figures coupled with a lack of clarity on property tax.

It\'s important sellers have a good marketing programme in place to attract the best buyers to their property. Good homes in popular suburbs are still experiencing strong demand but those with properties that aren\'t so well-presented in the less desirable suburbs must work that much harder.
