2026 - A Strong Start to the Property Market
Welcome to the weekly update where we reflect on what has been happening in the property market.
2026 is well underway and the Southern Highlands property market has opened with real momentum.
We’ve seen buyer confidence lift noticeably compared to December, and we’re seeing motivated purchasers eager to get in and secure property early in the year.
There’s a growing sentiment that prices may trend upward in the months ahead, coupled with the possibility of interest rate movement as early as April. For many buyers, this has created a clear incentive to act now before any changes impact borrowing capacity.
At Harpers, we’ve hit the ground running—launching six new properties to market already and working closely with both local and Sydney buyers who are ready to transact.
The level of enquiry and inspection attendance across January has been encouraging and reflects the strength of our region as a lifestyle destination.
We’ve set an ambitious goal of $200 million in sales for 2026, and the year has begun in exactly the way we hoped.
To support this growth, we’re currently searching for a new sales agent to join the Harpers team. Over the past week we’ve met with some exceptional candidates, and we’re excited about the talent looking to be part of what we’re building.
January is shaping up to be a defining month, and we’re looking forward to carrying this energy through the rest of the quarter—delivering outstanding results for our clients and continuing to showcase the very best of the Southern Highlands.
