And of course, our gold nuggets! Cate’s gold nugget relates to the buyers out there who could apply market segmentation to the options out there, and she suggests how some of these segments could be bought advantageously, namely first home buyer stock and land-banking sites. Both of these opportunities have presented as these two buyer contingents have reduced their appetite in the current environment. Dave’s gold nugget hinges around his sense that the property market is becoming a leading indicator, and he shares some great examples of how buyers can be savvy when it comes to taking advantage of the conditions we’re navigating.
