As we head into 2025, the property market is shaping up in some fascinating ways. From changing buyer expectations to new market pressures, this year promises plenty of fresh opportunities—and no shortage of challenges, too.
In this report, we’re digging into the trends set to shake things up in 2025.
Loan Market CEO David McQueen explains why more and more Aussies are trusting brokers. With up to 80 per cent of Australians expected to work with a broker in the coming year, it’s a major shift in financial services that’s delivering some real wins for consumers.
Looking at commercial property, Loan Market Group Executive of Commercial Finance, Steve Scahill, shares why we are set to see increased competition within commercial lending. It’s a move that’s paving the way for brokers and banks to offer more flexible, tailored loan options.
Whether you’re a first-home buyer, investor, upsizer, downsizer, or just thinking about refinancing, staying ahead of the trends can make all the difference.
Whatever the year brings, you can count on our brokers at Loan Market to be ready to help you navigate your options and find what works for you.
We hope this report provides valuable insights and helps you feel ready to tackle whatever 2025 brings.
Here’s to a great year ahead!
