Consistent Gains Across Both Markets

Airport West is delivering consistent gains across the board, house prices up 7.6 per cent this year to $961,500 and unit prices up 9.0 per cent to $713,500. Clearance has climbed sharply too, up 19.5 per cent for houses to 73.4 per cent and up 2.4 per cent for units to a strong 82.6 per cent.

Days on market have improved across both markets as well, down 28.1 per cent for houses to 41 days and down 16.7 per cent for units to 35 days. Sales volume remains solid, with 199 houses and 64 units changing hands this year.

That kind of consistency, rising prices, rising clearance and falling days on market across both houses and units, is a genuinely strong combination, and makes Airport West one of the more evenly balanced, broadly improving markets covered in this update.
