The Reserve Bank kept the cash rate steady at 3.60%, but its tone has turned more cautious as stronger spending and a rebound in inflation temper expectations of a November rate cut. For Sydney’s housing market, the pause reinforces stability amid tightening supply and resilient buyer activity. Total listings have dipped annually for the first time in 20 months, even as new listings and auction volumes rise to six-month highs. Clearance rates remain strong at 71.2% despite the lift in volumes — a clear sign that demand is keeping pace with the increase in stock. This balance of confident buyers and constrained supply is likely to sustain price growth through spring.
