Despite a year marked by market challenges — including slower property activity and ongoing affordability pressures — the recent interest rate cut has sparked a renewed sense of optimism across our markets.
What Flemings is seeing on the ground in our key towns — Boorowa, Harden, Cootamundra, Young and Cowra — is backed up by data: our markets are delivering strong growth, competitive rental yields, and great opportunities for buyers. Compared to some larger regional centres and cities, which had gains of 10–20% in median prices, our towns are offering strong momentum, excellent value, and are firmly on the radar of serious buyers.
