Wes's Window on Life

  • Wes’s Window on Rate cuts and the RBA

    By Wes I remember the first time I felt the market shift under my feet. It was subtle — just a whisper of change in buyer urgency and a slightly warmer tone in seller negotiations. That kind of nuance is hard to spot unless you’re really paying attention. Today, with the RBA slicing the cash…

  • Wes’s Window into Why Inner City Prices Could Heat Up This Winter — Even if the Weather Doesn’t

    by wes You can almost feel it in the air — the kind of early winter chill that sends people reaching for coats, pulling out heaters, and, if they’ve been watching the market closely, leaning into the Inner City real estate scene. Now, I know winter isn’t traditionally the season we associate with big moves.…

  • Wes’s Window on The Strange Blessing of Cheaper Debt

    by Wes I’m no economist, but here are some thoughts. Interest rates keep slipping, like a sock on polished floorboards — graceful, a little unpredictable, and just risky enough to make you hesitate. It’s one of those macroeconomic shifts that feels good for a hot minute — like finding a $20 note in your jeans…

  • Wes’s Wet Window

    by Wes It’s been raining. A lot. The kind of wet where you step into a café and leave muddy footprints like a breadcrumb trail to your table. The kind where umbrellas are more about ritual than actual shelter. But even as we all trudge around Sydney’s inner city with damp cuffs and misty glasses,…

  • Wes’s Window on the Tenancy Legislation

    By Wes I’ve always said that buying or selling a property isn’t just a transaction. It’s a chapter in someone’s life story. And when that story includes tenants, it becomes a little more layered, a little more human. This is especially true now in New South Wales, where recent tenancy reforms have changed the rules…

  • Wes’s Window on Real Estate “Porn”

    by wes It usually starts as something innocent. You’re killing time in line at the post office, on a train headed nowhere special, or in bed with one eye open and sleep still clinging to your lashes. You swipe open Domain or realestate.com.au, just for a quick scroll. You’re not buying. You’re not even pretending…

  • Wes’s Window on my Camel Coat

    by wes Yesterday I finally got to wear my camel coat. I bought it right at the end of winter last year after agonising over it for far too long. Do I need another coat? No. Is it practical? Debatable. Does it make me look like I have my life together? Possibly. By the time…

  • Wes’s Window on How the Market Is Going

    by Wes I was at a barbecue on Saturday after a grueling day of Open Homes, balancing a paper plate like it owed me money, when someone asked it. “What’s the market doing?” Before I could answer, someone else chimed in.“No seriously… what’s the market doing?” Gym. Same question.Coffee. Same question.Scroll Instagram. Every second agent suddenly…

  • Wes’s Window on Layering

    By Wes I checked the weather last night before packing my gym bag and saw 20 degrees. To me that means temperamental weather. Maybe a hoodie. Maybe a light jersey. Something that says “prepared” and “mature adult making sensible choices”. Yet here I am at 11am sweating through my soul. Part of my nightly routine is…

  • Wes’s Window on the Blank Page

    by wes Blank page week two. I have opened this laptop every morning with the intention of writing something insightful about the property market and then immediately closed it again to watch dog videos or look at air fryers I absolutely do not need. Because the truth is every sentence I start typing sounds like one…
