In this brief segment, the speaker reflects on recent shifts in the residential property market since spring, noting that buyer inquiries have become clearer and more decisive. He attributes this change partly to the timing of market dynamics but criticises the lack of clear direction from policymakers in Canberra, describing how uncertainty forces potential buyers to delay decisions until compelled. The speaker also explains the concept of “micro inspections,” informal, notified property viewings that often attract unexpected participants, highlighting the unpredictability of attendance at these events.
