EXPERT OBSERVER
Over the 2018 calendar year, the share of sales across the six price points highlighted nationally were: 6.1% under $200,000, 24.8% between $200,000 and $400,000, 28.0% between $400,000 and $600,000, 18.7% between $600,000 and $800,000, 8.7% between $800,000 and $1 million and 13.8% at or above $1 million. 
The most prominent price point for sales was $400,000 to $600,000, while there were more sales of at least $1 million than there were below $200,000 or between $800,000 and $1 million.
The share of sales annually by price point over each five-year period from 1993 to 2018 shows how an overwhelming majority of sales occurred below $200,000 in 1993, compared to virtually no sales below $200,000 in 2018.
Over time, there has been a steady climb in the share of sales across the more expensive price points.

<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2019/3/7/Kush%2010.JPG" alt="">
The clear shift over the past five years has been towards a greater share of sales at higher price points.
While you’d expect this in the markets that have seen strong value growth such as Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart, we have also seen it across markets where value growth has been much weaker.
Values are currently declining fastest across the more expensive properties and over the coming year we would expect to see the share of sales over $1 million to reduce as values continue to fall.
As a result, we’d also expect slightly more sales occurring at lower price points, we don’t expect any material change in the share of sales under $200,000, in fact they may reduce further.

Ortiz left the show abruptly in 2016, citing it no longer made him happy.

<div> </div>
<div>"What I don’t miss about New York City real estate is making deals in the cold.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Not a fan of the cold anymore."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"I miss the hustle. The constant need to re-invent yourself as a person and as a professional. I miss the competition and the players."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ortiz, who in 2013 was listed as number 19 on Us Weekly's Most Stylish New Yorker list, says he has had plenty of offers to work in LA, where he is currently spending much of his time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"They sound enticing on a financial level but until there's anything I fall in love with, I won’t move forward with it."</div>
Visiting Australia for the first time, Ortiz said the one thing he always looks forward to experiencing in every place he goes is the people and their culture.
The Altman brothers will be performing <a href="https://www.milliondollarevening.com.au" target="_blank">Million Dollar Evening stage shows in Sydney and Melbourne</a> having done so last year. 
The Altman Brothers are among the top producing real estate agents in the country.
