  • Wes’s Window on Ghosting

    We’ve all been there. You match with someone, exchange a few messages, maybe even go on a date, and then nothing. No response, no explanation, just quiet. Or maybe you’re on the other side.

That kind of nuance is hard to spot unless you’re really paying attention. Today, with the RBA slicing the cash rate by 0.25%,…

  • 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. It’s the season…

  • Now That the Dust Has Settled

    Now that the flags have been folded after ANZAC Day, the last of the chocolate eggs have been eaten, and the campaign posters have finally come down, there’s a moment of quiet settling across the Inner West.
