## Resource

The housing market’s brakes are firmly on as rising interest rates, May’s tax changes, and global uncertainty send investors and buyers into pause mode. Auction sales plummeted, investor applications dropped 23%, and first-timers are also pulling back—asking tougher questions about repayments and future rates. Open house crowds are thinner, prices are stalled, and sales volumes in major cities are down nearly 17%. Analysts warn of a prolonged slowdown with fewer deals and sluggish price growth ahead. With investors stepping back, first-time buyers might finally get a chance—but the rental crisis could deepen without them. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
