Carlton is overwhelmingly an apartment and rental market, and the numbers are striking: nearly three hundred one-bedroom units sold over the year, and more than a hundred and sixty two-bedroom apartments, the latter clearing at around seven in ten. The scarce period terraces are the prize, but even they ask for patience, with three-bedroom houses sitting around eighteen weeks on market and the largest homes clearing under a third.
That combination makes presentation and pricing decisive. A character home with modern updates draws genuine competition here, but only once buyers click through, so first impressions online matter enormously.
The clearest mistake in a market like this is pricing off a neighbour's sale from twelve or eighteen months ago. Buyers are selective and well informed, and the terraces that sell well are the ones priced to today's evidence and presented to stand out from a deep field of apartments.

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.
