Welcoming the Christmas Season in Forster Tuncurry
Welcoming the Christmas Season in Forster Tuncurry: A Local Market Wrap-Up for 2025
As the Christmas season approaches and our coastal towns start to sparkle with festive lights, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the year that’s been and look ahead to what 2026 may bring for homeowners, buyers, and investors across Forster Tuncurry.
At JKL Real Estate, we’ve enjoyed another strong year of helping clients achieve their property goals. Whether it’s preparing a home for sale, guiding buyers into the next chapter, or supporting our investors in a changing market, the festive season is a natural moment to pause, appreciate the wins, and reset for the year ahead.
A Confident Finish to the 2025 Property Market
This year has shown steady enquiry levels, solid buyer confidence, and continued demand for quality properties across the Great Lakes region. Well-presented homes, strategic campaigns, and realistic pricing have remained key to strong results — something our team has championed throughout 2024.
As we head into December, the market often takes on a unique rhythm. Serious buyers remain active, particularly those looking to secure a move in the early stages of the new year. With many people travelling, visiting family, or enjoying holidays around town, properties also benefit from an increased flow of out-of-area buyers who fall in love with the relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Holiday Timing: Why Christmas Can Be A Strategic Season for Sellers
While many assume the market slows down over Christmas, the opposite is often true. The festive period can be a surprisingly advantageous time to list or prepare your property for the new year.
Here’s why:
-
Less competition – Fewer homes on the market means your property can stand out.
-
Highly motivated buyers – People looking in December and January are usually ready to make decisions.
-
The lifestyle factor – It’s easy for buyers to envision the coastal lifestyle when the region is buzzing over summer.
If you’re considering selling in early 2025, now is the ideal time to speak with our team. Preparation over the Christmas break — from compliance checks to campaign planning — can position your property perfectly for the first wave of buyers in January.
Celebrating Community Spirit
Christmas in Forster–Tuncurry is always a special time, and we love seeing our community come alive. From local markets and twilight events to the simple joy of warm evenings at the beach, it’s a season that reminds us why so many people are choosing to invest in our beautiful area.
Our team is proud to support local businesses, trades, and community initiatives throughout the year — something that becomes even more meaningful during the festive season.
Looking Ahead to 2026
