There's rarely a week goes by that there isn't another theory or opinion.
Michael Cleaves, Licensed Real Estate Agent and Auctioneer at Sternbeck's Real Estate is a doyen in the local Cessnock real estate landscape.
Having been a fixture in the profession for over 33 years there is very little he has not seen or experienced.
Unnerved by market vagaries, he understands that every industry has its peaks and troughs, yet he knows that the business of buying and selling property is always a constant.
"Michael knows there is always a market and that is what a good agents caters to.
"Having someone with the experience and wisdom that he possesses as part of our agency ensures clients are always professionally and comprehensively cared for by one of the real estate industry's best operators, no matter what the market brings," says James Harvey, Prinicpal, Sternbeck's Real Estate.
While current conditions are still 'at the other end of the 'hot market' spectrum,' both Cleaves and Harvey are agreed that the recent drop in interest rates from the Reserve Bank of Australia will go some way to fuel activity.
"Positive action coupled with some post election confidence is lifting activity in the real estate market.
Buyer enquiry has grown a tad in past few weeks and we hope it continues," says Cleaves.
Born and bred into a local real estate family, it was only natural that Michael would continue with tradition and become a real estate professional.

"Those who know Michael recognise that he is a genuine bloke, who is easy to talk with and who will always do the best for his clients.
"He's a walking, talking encyclopedia of local knowledge there is not too much happening around the place that Michael doesn't know about." says Harvey.
With his tremendous network of connections Michael sells most frequently through his vast database of contacts.
As well as being a licensed real estate agent, Michael is also a skilled and experienced Auctioneer who has delivered some of the most successful results for property sales in the area.
