Spring is traditionally Melbourne’s busiest real estate season, and the market has delivered on expectations this year. We continue to see steady enquiry levels, healthy open-for- inspection attendance, and competitive bidding when quality homes are presented to the market. While there is a slight sensitivity around price, the overall conditions remain balanced — a good, normal market that leans slightly in favour of vendors who are well-prepared.
Buyers remain motivated, with families focused on school zones, downsizers seeking convenience and lifestyle, and investors gradually re-emerging as rental demand stays strong. For sellers, this means campaigns that emphasise presentation, location and liveability are resonating most strongly, with buyers prepared to act decisively when those criteria are met.
As the season unfolds, we expect activity to track consistently with the rhythms of Melbourne life — moments of pause around school holidays and the AFL Grand Final, followed by increased activity in October and beyond. Importantly, the underlying confidence in the market has not shifted, with vendors and buyers engaging in a healthy, competitive environment that continues to generate strong outcomes.
For those considering selling, now is the time to plan ahead. By preparing early and working with our experienced team, you can ensure your property is positioned to capture buyer attention and benefit from the heightened momentum that follows September’s key events.
