Brunswick East is where the compact home moves fastest. Two-bedroom houses near $980,000 are clearing at close to nine in ten in around three weeks, the quickest result across the inner north, as first-home buyers and professionals compete for well-kept period homes under the million mark. Lifestyle and location are outweighing size here.
The apartment market is a different pace. More than two hundred two-bedroom units sold over the year, but they cleared at around half, so with that much choice buyers are taking their time and comparing closely. Four-bedroom houses near $1.75m are the other patient end.
For owners of a tidy, well-presented smaller home the timing is genuinely strong. For apartments and larger houses, first impressions online and a price grounded in this year's sales are decisive, because buyers are scrolling past anything that looks overpriced or needs work before they book an inspection.

Owning an investment property and owning a good investment property are not necessarily the same thing. It’s an important distinction, and one that property investors should revisit regularly.
The Reserve Bank's decision to leave the cash rate on hold at 4.35 per cent is welcome news for buyers, sellers and businesses alike. While it's not a silver bullet for Melbourne's property market, it should provide some reassurance that the aggressive phase of the interest rate tightening cycle may be easing.
