Burwood East

Family Homes, Sold in a Month

Burwood East is moving quickly. Three-bedroom houses near $1.21m are selling in about a month and clearing at well over eight in ten, one of the fastest results in the area, and four and five-bedroom homes are close behind. This is a settled, owner-occupier suburb, with around three-quarters of homes owned rather than rented, and the buyers are family upsizers who know exactly what they want.

One thing worth noticing is how small the step up is. The gap between a typical three-bedroom home and a five-bedroom home here is modest, which makes trading up within the suburb more achievable than in many neighbouring areas.

If you are selling a well-kept family home the conditions are with you right now, buyers are competing and decisions are being made fast. Pricing it to the strong recent sales in these streets, rather than testing the market high, is what keeps that momentum on your side.
