Market Momentum into Winter

As we look back on what has been a spectacular run of warm autumn weather in Melbourne, there’s no doubt it played a role in driving strong buyer activity in recent weeks. The sun brought people out in force, and we’ve seen that reflected in robust open for inspection numbers, good auction clearance rates, and consistent sales across all price points in our market.

While the cooler change is now upon us, momentum in the market remains. With talk of a potential interest rate cut continuing to circulate, buyers are staying engaged, and in many cases, moving decisively. There’s a sense of quiet confidence in the air, particularly from those keen to transact before the winter school holidays.

We’re seeing strong, measured activity across a broad range of properties - from apartments to established family residences and premium listings. Recent results, including a standout sale in East Melbourne, show that well-presented, well-priced homes are still attracting competitive interest.

This is, in many ways, a classic Melbourne market: resilient, balanced, and full of opportunity for both buyers and sellers who are well-prepared.

As always, timing is key. With stock continuing to move and buyer interest remaining firm, this is a window worth considering if you're thinking about making a move before winter fully sets in.
