Caulfield East is a small, investor-led pocket shaped by the nearby university campus and racecourse. The market is dominated by compact, affordable apartments, many trading well under $400,000, which makes it one of the most accessible entry points anywhere in this part of the city. So few properties change hands overall that reliable medians are not published, but the pattern is clear: this is entry-level, investor and first-buyer territory.
Alongside the apartments sits a small, tightly held group of family houses that rarely come to market and hold their value well when they do.
With interstate investors active across exactly this kind of entry-level stock, well-priced apartments attract genuine interest, particularly those that are turn-key and need no immediate work. For vendors, the key is realistic pricing to recent comparable sales, since buyers here are value-focused and quick to compare options. A well-presented, sharply priced apartment is the one that secures a buyer in this competitive entry market.

Good property management should remove uncertainty, not create more of it.
If you're considering engaging a property manager, one of the first questions you're likely to ask is: how much does property management actually cost?
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.
