We are beginning to see genuine momentum return to both the Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula auction landscapes. Stock volumes are on the rise, with more property campaigns launching each day and buyer attendance at opens climbing steadily. This is the start of what many in the market have been waiting for: the unofficial run into spring.

Adding further weight to market confidence is the near certainty of an interest rate decrease in the coming days. After several years of price stagnation, this has created a tangible sense of optimism, with both buyers and sellers anticipating that softer borrowing conditions could place upward pressure on prices in the months ahead. For many, it feels like the first genuine tailwind the market has enjoyed in quite some time.

Spring campaigns are already in motion, and planning for September sales is critical. Savvy vendors are using August to prepare their homes, coordinate marketing suppliers with their agents, and lock in auction dates before competition intensifies. With only four and a half months until Christmas, the window to maximise 2025 selling opportunities is already upon us.

If you are considering selling, now is the perfect time to reach out to your local Marshall White agent. Together, we can position your home to capture buyer attention and take full advantage of the market momentum before the spring rush peaks.
