Was purchasing or renting a property part of your New Years' Resolutions??

Upgrades and eco-overhauls

Home improvements were also high on the agenda, with 27% planning a kitchen renovation and 28% a bathroom overhaul.

Sustainability measures figured in people's goals, with nearly 30% intending to get a quote for solar panels on their property, 37% looking at installing a water tank, and a huge 67% intending to grow their own vegetables and herbs.

Security and savings

Diversifying investments in on the cards for 7%, who say they are looking at investing in a commercial property.
 
Saving money remains central for Australians this year, with 76% saying they're committed to saving more, and 55% of respondents said they'd put extra money on their existing mortgages.
Housemates need not despair, as 86% of people who have one said they have no plans to move out on their own at this time.
Defying softening job statistics, 75% of those surveyed said they felt secure in their current job.



Confidence on the rise

Results show the realestate.com.au community are doubling down on their futures - saving for deposits, getting into the market in new or strategic ways, and paying off their mortgages.

Property is still an important priority for Australians, and there is a growing sense of confidence about the market.
