The REIA heads to Paris, Price growth lifts again, First National sets sail in Cannington, +news and more

“They said it”

Good Morning from Elite Agent

If you promise customers an ‘enchanted garden’, an ‘imagination lab’ and a ‘twilight tunnel’, then that’s exactly what you need to deliver. Only that’s not what families received when they spent $67 on a Willy Wonka-inspired event in Scotland. Instead, they entered a sparsely decorated warehouse, got a tiny cup of lemonade and two jelly beans. For the organisers it was a harsh lesson in delivering on what you promise and meeting service expectations. And that’s something real estate coach Caroline Bolderston knows a lot about. Caroline says whether you are in property management, sales or administration – your role is to deliver value to your clients. And she has all the tips on how to find out what that is, here.

Today, we’re covering:

• Price growth lifts again

• Demystifying the Right to Disconnect

• First National sets sail in Cannington

• The REIA is heading to Paris

• And much more!

Let's get to work 🚀

On our radar

Price growth reaccelerates

After a bit of a lull to end 2023 and start 2024, property prices reaccelerated in February. The PropTrack Home Price Index found national prices rose 0.45 per cent month-on-month, the largest monthly increase since October 2023. Meanwhile the CoreLogic Home Value Index showed Perth continued to be the stand-out performer, up 1.8 per cent over the month. More here.

Speaker Highlight: Dom Price, Creating Our Future on Purpose, Not by Accident

Work futurist Dom Price doesn’t believe it’s enough to simply make predictions about the future, or even just prepare for it.

"At Ready24, I’ll be sharing how we can take action now. The art of getting things done isn't about waiting for the perfect plan, it's about acting with a healthy dose of reality – using history to help us plan and prepare,” says Dom.

Dom’s session will equip you to be a driver, not an observer, and make a maximum impact.

Ready24 is happening at Sydney’s Royal Randwick on Tuesday 12 March and tickets are almost sold out.

$5 note's new cultural canvas

The Reserve Bank of Australia has issued a call for help to redesign the $5 note. The lilac currency currently features Queen Elizabeth II and the Australian Parliament. While parliament will remain on the note, the RBA has called for ideas from the community to reflect First Nations cultures into the design of an updated $5 note. “This could be a story passed down for generations, a location, an idea, an instrument or an object that binds a community,” Assistant Governor (Business Services) Michelle McPhee says.
