Where the Entry-Level Buyer Still Has Options

Capel Sound continues to offer some of the more accessible entry points on this stretch of coast. Two-bedroom houses are trading at $650,000 with 17 sales this year, and three-bedroom homes at $741,500 with a strong 80 per cent clearance rate in around four weeks.

Four-bedroom family homes are trading at $902,500 with 29 sales, while five-bedroom homes make up a smaller top end. Apartments remain a genuine option too, with two-bedroom units at $567,500 and three-bedroom units at $712,500. Buyers here are prioritising solid, well-maintained homes over cosmetic renovations, in keeping with the wider mood across the Peninsula.

With demand a little quieter than usual but stock lower too, well-presented homes priced to the current market are still finding genuine interest. Anything under $850,000 in particular is seeing strong attention, consistent with the pattern right along this part of the bay and its neighbouring suburbs.
