What a Hot Market Does to Buyer Behaviour
When buyers believe other buyers are watching the same property, their internal calculation shifts from am I sure to can I afford to wait. Budget ceilings that felt fixed become flexible when a buyer believes the right property is about to go to someone else. That is where the difference between a good result and an exceptional one is usually made.

Selectivity increases across every dimension of the buyer assessment. For sellers in a softer market, the response is not to wait - it is to compete.
How Interest Rate Movements Influence Buyer Decisions
Buyers who were confident about their position before a rate rise can become hesitant after one, even when their actual capacity has not changed significantly. Some buyers exit the market entirely. Others revise their budgets downward. For sellers, a falling rate environment is one of the most favourable conditions available - buyer pools expand, confidence rises and competition returns.
