Volume Anchors a Deepening Market

This remains the volume market of the area, and by some distance. Four hundred and eighty-six houses have sold this year, the clear leader across every nearby suburb, with clearance holding at 69.2 per cent despite low stock making competition genuine for what is available right now.

The unit story is worth watching closely. Prices are up 14.9 per cent year on year, and clearance sits at a strong 78.8 per cent, even as overall unit volume has eased. Days on market have improved significantly across both houses and units, down 16.7 and 27.7 per cent respectively this year.

Buyers can expect stronger stock levels through spring, particularly at the top end where quality houses are starting to come through. Appraisals are rising after a quiet winter, and with investors the dominant buyer type and most activity under $700,000, better clearance rates are reflecting genuinely improving sentiment.
