Did Sydney's Market Just Crash?

In this episode, we sit down with Belinda the valuer and Jack Harris from Box Auctions to discuss what's actually happening at the auction block, how valuers are adjusting their numbers in real time, and what the May 12 budget really means for buyers and investors. We get into why vendor reserves are being slashed by $200,000 on the day, how the herd mentality is keeping buyers frozen on the sideline, and why the people waiting for the bottom will almost certainly miss it. The big question at the end: if you're a first-home buyer sitting on the fence right now do you wait, or do you go? https://www.foxauctions.com.au/https://addvaluer.com/ 🏠 This podcast is brought to you by Coposit, where $10k means you can buy a brand-new home.
