Avoid gluten and you’ll avoid bloating, brain fog, fatigue and diabetes. Of course, it’s true for only a few people. But health fads thrive on hope, not thinking.
Hope (and fads) rule real estate sales also. Every seller begins a campaign hoping to get the highest price. And the current real estate fad can be very compelling.
There’s only one knowable fact about the highest bidder for your home: he or she will want your house more than anyone else and will be prepared to pay the most amount to get it.
So there’s only one knowable fact about the best real estate agent for your home. He or she will find all the high bidders and recognise the likely buyer.

All four attributes.
Contrary to what hope suggests, that agent may not be the one with the highest quote. (There’s probably something wrong with a quote that’s out of sync with the others).

There’s a bit of excitement at the moment over the budget, lower interest rates, changes to super and the dollar likely to drop further.

In the shorter term, it’s probably a safe bet that you can buy something based on the assumption that interest rates aren’t going to sky-rocket in the near future.
However, now is not the time to speculate. It’s not the time to think like a trader .
To buy in the current markets, consider worst-case scenarios in the medium-term: from rising interest rates to downturn in price. Because the fact is, we just don’t know. What we do know, is that there’s not much stability.
