Things are different at this time of the year. Christian countries already press the celebratory button by now and workplaces start becoming hubs of holiday gossip. However, though it might sound paradoxical, employees also start to work at a furious pace, in order to be free from work obligation when the Christmas festivities close in. Let me take you through how the finance industry behaves during this part of the year.

Sydney Robustly Placed In This New Property Cycle
Michael Yardney, while writing an article for the Property Update, talks about a few things we have already heard but the perspective is fresh and the article quite engaging nonetheless.

Growth of a country is not the growth of its flora and fauna; it is measured by the rise in its living standards and the sustainability of its economy, among other things.

Sydney Powers Combined Home Value Growth For Capital Cities
Sydney and Melbourne (and precisely in this order) are leading the recovery of the Australian property market. Capital city home value growth, many thanks to them, has shown a combined hike of 7.9% over the last year.
This however is not a barometer for the entire country and the super performance of Sydney alone has masked the snail-pace growth in many major areas. Canberra remains in doldrums and Perth and Brisbane are flattering to deceive most of the times. So to cut the story short, Sydney it is at the helm of the affairs.
