Should I buy now or after the elections?

Post by Marcus »

Hi all, just wanted to know how the elections will affect or impact on the property market? Is it a good idea to buy an investment property now, before the elections?
Thanks - Marcus

Historically buying during the election campaign has been a good thing. Generally there are fewer buyers and a lower auction clearance rate. So far it seems like the clearance rate has been very low over the last month or so, this indicates that now could be a good time to buy.
