EXPERT OBSERVER

There has been a turnaround in housing sentiment post-election.

There have been other factors, of course, including two rate cuts.
 
The second rate cut was only delivered six weeks or so ago, and there can be a long lag effect - the full impacts many not be felt for up to 18 months
 
In addition, there were very strong auction results reported for the inner suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne by agents and media alike this weekend, especially for properties located within 15 minutes commute of the Central Business District.

CoreLogic found that every single apartment in Sydney's city or inner south taken to auction this weekend sold under the hammer, which is remarkable.

For freestanding inner-suburban houses, it was a bit of a frenzy.
