House prices are on a seemingly unending upward trajectory, with one major factor continuing to put a floor under prices.

While the rate hiking cycle intially brought prices down, it was a small and brief dip, followed by more strong growth.

Property prices are up by over 35% across the country, and while not the same story in each city, that's little solace to prospective buyers pulling their hair out.

Across the nation, office occupancy rose to 76% of pre-Covid levels in Q1 2024. It represents a six percentage point rise from the final quarter of 2023, where occupancy was recorded at 70%, and a nine percentage point rise from a year ago.

This starkly contrasts the American office attendance rate, which has stabilised at around 50% of pre-pandemic levels on average over the past year.
