Market Update

Market UpdateWe finished 2014 with a busy December, experiencing high levels of activity right up to Christmas. It’s been a strong start to 2015, with residential agency proving to be the most active area of the market in January, due to it being the busiest time of the year for residential property management. Traditionally in the corporate sector Adelaide doesn’t switch into top gear for business until the end of January, when school resumes. True to form, in the past week we’ve seen an increase in requests for commercial property managers, property officers in local government and conveyancers. As we enter our 17th year of business recruiting in the property sector, we predict a similar year ahead to the previous two: a relatively stable employment market where employers continue to closely manage costs. Jobseekers in good roles will continue to be cautious about new positions, undertaking as much due diligence as possible before making a decision to move. An area to watch: growth and mergers within the community housing sector, coupled with government compliance requirements, will offer opportunity as larger portfolios require a more strategic approach to property management. Our database of property talent is the best in the industry and we work hard to deliver a highly ethical and professional service to our clients.
