As we progress further into autumn, the market continues to track along a reassuringly normal path. Auction clearance rates across Melbourne are holding in the mid-60s, and at Marshall White, we are consistently performing above that benchmark, a reflection of the quality of properties we bring to market and the depth of our buyer networks. Importantly, we are also seeing strong results across private sale campaigns, with well-qualified buyers actively engaging beyond the auction arena.
This weekend marks one of the final large-volume auction weekends before the traditional April slowdown, with Easter, school holidays and Anzac Day combining to create a natural pause in activity. For buyers, the timing presents a genuine window of opportunity. With a solid number of properties available right now, there is real scope to secure a home or investment before listings ease off and competition tightens on the other side of the break.
For sellers, the message is equally encouraging. Buyer activity remains consistent, and those who are well-prepared and well-priced are being rewarded with strong results. The current conditions favour decisive action on both sides of the market, and with fewer properties expected to come to market through April, those who act now stand to benefit from the current depth of buyer interest.
