The Barry Plant Group has once again demonstrated the extraordinary power of community and generosity celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Wishtober campaign in 2024, by raising $84,329.01 for Make-A-Wish Australia.

This October marked a momentous occasion for the Barry Plant Group, as they celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their partnership with Make-A-Wish Australia. For a decade, their 'Wishtober' initiative has exemplified community spirit, compassion, and generosity.

An ambitious plan for a three-city study tour spanning two continents paid off in spades for the Barry Plant Group recently, with the 15-strong contingent of leaders connecting and collaborating with other like-minded industry leaders.

Before I get too focused on the property market in the City of Hume, allow me to congratulate all those Brisbane Lions supporters out there including, of course, those long time Fitzroy supporters who have stuck with the maroon, blue and gold despite the geographical challenges. Of course, my sympathies also go to the Swans supporters who led the way for most of the season, only to stumble at the final hurdle.

There’s been a lot of positive news on the property market emerging recently, particularly for first home buyers.

With all that’s been happening in the property market in 2024, there were quite a few observers who wondered whether this year’s Spring selling season would generate the usual surge in buyer activity that we’ve seen in the past.

The Barry Plant Group is once again embracing the spirit of giving this October with their annual "Wishtober" event, in support of Make-A-Wish® Australia. For every property sold in October, Barry Plant will donate a portion of the commission to Make-A-Wish. Over the past decade, this initiative has raised over $1 million, demonstrating the network's commitment to community and making a difference.

We may be only one week into the official Spring selling season for the property market in the City of Hume, but we’re already seeing lots of signs of an active and exciting few months for sellers and buyers alike.

The Barry Plant Group has struck silver at the 2024 Melbourne Design Awards, earning top honors in the Graphic Design - Identity and Branding - Corporate category for its daring and dynamic brand refresh.

Given that this weekend marks the official start of the Spring of 2024, I thought this might be an ideal time to look at some of the most recent property market data to see what it might be indicating for the season ahead.

It might surprise quite a few people given the ongoing talk about cost of living pressures around the country, but it seems that the Winter of 2024 has been a positive season for quite a few first home buyers in Australia.

It’s been interesting to see how many people have been wanting to chat in the past week or so about the upcoming Spring property market and what it may hold for the homeowners of the City of Hume.
