Real estate agents have this advice for foreign property owners ordered to sell up because they have breached foreign investment rules – do so sooner rather than later. The agents believe the Sydney market in particular has topped out. Of the six properties to be sold under orders from Treasurer Joe Hockey, one is in Sydney’s Fairfield, where prices have surged 33 per cent in 12 months. A crash is not predicted, but agents are starting to see fewer bidders at auctions.
