The Australian property market has faced many unexpected changes during the end of last year up to the first quarter of 2022. So, how is it holding up?

What global events are affecting the market? Is the rental market improving this year? Is the Australian social class gap slowing down the market? 

In today’s Suburb Trends episode, our resident geek Kent Lardner joins us as we take a look at the statistics and discuss the changing market conditions in the country, property inventory, areas going strong, areas showing signs of softening, and heaps more!
