Predictions for the Property Market in 2025

The property market in 2025 is anticipated to show a dichotomy, functioning effectively in the first half while facing potential challenges in the second half. With interest rates decreasing and stable unemployment rates, there is a belief that consumer sentiment will boost demand and transactions early in the year. However, concerns arise regarding government actions and communication, which could instigate a sense of economic fragility among consumers. Missteps by the government might translate to stagnation in the market, causing caution among potential buyers and sellers in later months.
