New listings have surged a month before Christmas across capital cities, an unusual sight for a typically slow month for housing activity.<\/p>\n
REA Group\u2019s latest PropTrack Listings Report showed that new listings on realestate.com.au increased by 12.5% in November, reaching a multi-year high and marking the third consecutive month of double-digit gain.<\/p>\n
On an annual basis, new listings in November were 44.5% higher.<\/p>\n

PropTrack economist Angus Moore said market activity continued to soar in November as sellers made up for lost time after the lockdowns.<\/p>\n
\u201cAcross Australia\u2019s capital cities, new listings reached their highest level in a decade,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a strong result for November, which is typically seasonally a little weaker than October.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, this year\u2019s peak was pushed back by the delayed start to the spring selling season due to lockdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n
Due to the delayed start to the spring selling season, Mr Moore said December might be busier than usual, with sellers who were held back due to lockdowns gearing up to make a sale before Christmas.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs buyers and sellers pause for the Christmas break, property markets will be quieter over the next couple of months.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Moore said selling conditions are likely to remain strong until early next year before moderating from the high level of activity witnessed in recent months.<\/p>\n
\u201cMeasures of buyer demand remain high but have eased slightly in November. At the same time, new supply coming to market has meant buyers have had more options to choose from than has been the case for much of this year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
