Where the Flight to Quality Lands

Armadale is one of the suburbs where the current flight to quality is landing most clearly. The classic period home is in real demand, with three-bedroom houses near $2.106m clearing at around seven in ten in roughly five weeks, as buyers compete for solid, well-located homes with character and good outdoor space.

The apartment market is active at the affordable end, with one-bedroom units selling in around three weeks and two-bedroom units near $760,000 clearing at around two in three, drawing the interstate investors currently active across the inner south-east. The luxury three-bedroom apartment is the more patient exception.

Buyers here are moving quickly and often bidding across several homes at once, so vendors with a quality property should be ready to act when strong interest appears. A home that is well presented and priced to current evidence is the one drawing competition in this market, rather than sitting while buyers look elsewhere.
