• In his weekly property commentary, Peter Sarmas examines the outlook for the Australian economy in general, and the potential impact this could have on the housing market.

• Buyer’s advocate Cate Bakos recently negotiated with two vendors who were selling their property without a real estate agent, and she was quite impressed by their approach.

• Are you looking to make your mortgage disappear a bit quicker? Perhaps you should consider an interest rate discount.

• According to Louis Christopher of SQM Research, the Sydney property market is about to have its strongest start in over 15 years.

• And those looking for a family activity this Australia Day can attend a free concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl before enjoying the fireworks around Victoria Harbour in Docklands.
