Opens are busier than they were in July, and that extra foot traffic is translating into results. Two-bedroom apartments are clearing at a remarkable 94 per cent in around four weeks, and buyers are increasingly confident making decisions rather than sitting on the fence.
The upper end tells a more measured story. Four-bedroom homes are clearing at 58 per cent and taking closer to eight weeks, with buyers preferring to negotiate after auction rather than compete on the day. It isn't a lack of interest, more a lack of urgency, and larger homes here have eased in price over recent months, an opportunity upsizers are increasingly taking.
With first-home buyers the dominant group right now and the $700,000 to $1.2 million band the most active, buyers are enjoying genuine choice and the time to do proper due diligence rather than feeling rushed. Presentation and pricing grounded in this year's evidence remain what turns that improved confidence into a sale.
