Harcourts Australia is thrilled to welcome a dynamic new leader to its executive team. Kiarni Hall has been selected to steer the company’s operational strategy, bringing a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the organisation.

New Zealand’s property management sector is approaching a structural reckoning. As regulatory pressure increases and professional expectations rise, the industry is being forced to confront a reality many have long deferred, that scale alone is no longer a sufficient measure of success.

The Harcourts Foundation has proudly announced the presentation of a $12,000 grant to Tas Textiles, a significant contribution designed to support the local manufacturer’s growth and creative capabilities. This funding has facilitated the purchase of a new Pom Pom machine, an equipment addition that is already opening doors to new commercial opportunities for the organisation.

January has a particular energy. After the intensity of December, the industry exhales. Inboxes quieten. The pace softens. Minds clear. It is one of the few moments in the year when reflection feels natural rather than forced. And it is often in this quieter space that the most meaningful leadership realisations emerge. For many property management professionals, the reset into 2026 is not about doing more. It is about doing less — with greater intention. The quie

The real estate industry does not move in straight lines. It moves in cycles. In the lunar calendar, 2025 was the Year of the Snake, a symbol associated with strategy, awareness and quiet transformation. The Snake does not chase attention. It observes, adjusts and sheds what no longer works. That symbolism landed with surprising accuracy across the property sector.

Early January has a way of revealing the truth. Not about the market, that takes longer, but about the people operating within it. Within the first working days of the year, patterns emerge quickly. Some professionals arrive with calm direction. Others arrive with noise. Some teams move forward with quiet confidence. Others appear busy without appearing settled. This difference is rarely accidental. January does not reward enthusiasm on its own. It rewards pre

The first day of the year carries a certain expectation in real estate. Fresh starts. Renewed energy. A sense that momentum can be switched on simply because the calendar has changed.

The final day of the year often invites reflection in real estate. It is tempting to treat it as a clean break, a moment where one year ends and another begins with a fresh slate. In practice, the market rarely works that way. Very little resets overnight. What tends to carry forward are habits, perceptions and positioning.

Australian prestige agency Whitefox has confirmed its entry into the Dubai market with a target of $500 million in first year sales, signalling a new era of ambition for Australian real estate brands operating at the top end of the market.

If your business or network didn’t grow this year, it’s not the market, the fees or the competition. It’s leadership, visibility and strategy. As costs rise and trust tightens, silence is no longer neutral. This is why PR, done properly, separates leaders from those left behind in 2026.

Your First Year as a Buyer’s Agent Will Break You, Unless You Learn This One Truth About Rejection

Every year, the real estate industry repeats the same conversation in January. Why some agents seem to start the year already in motion.Why others spend weeks trying to warm the market back up.

The period between Christmas and New Year has always existed outside the normal operating rhythm of the real estate industry.

The final days of the year are often framed around what comes next. New goals. New plans. New momentum. What is discussed far less is what gets left behind.

For the first time since its establishment more than 116 years ago, the iconic Good Hope Resort on the shores of Lake Burrinjuck near Yass has been listed for sale.

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to step out from behind the publication for a moment and speak directly.

The period between Christmas and New Year has always existed outside the normal operating rhythm of the real estate industry.

The week of Christmas sits outside the usual operating rhythm of the real estate industry. Campaigns pause, inboxes quieten and decision-making slows. For many professionals, this is viewed as downtime. In reality, it is a period where judgement, rather than activity, becomes the differentiator. Property markets do not switch off during Christmas week. Buyers, sellers and landlords continue to observe conditions, reassess timing and form opinions about who appears informed, c

LJ Hooker is expanding its footprint in Brisbane’s outer and more affordable fringe suburbs as part of a broader strategy to reinforce its presence in growth markets and capture increased buyer and seller demand ahead of 2026.
