Strong Clearance From Entry to Family Homes

Clayton South is clearing homes strongly across almost every bracket right now. Two-bedroom houses lead with a 91 per cent clearance rate at $738,000, while three-bedroom homes carry the volume, 84 sales this year at $950,500 with a solid 78 per cent clearance rate in around six weeks.

Four-bedroom family homes are trading at $1.05 million with 71 per cent clearing, and apartments are performing well too, with two-bedroom units at $507,000 clearing at 73 per cent and three-bedroom units at $828,200 clearing at a strong 76 per cent.

With just over half of local households families, buyers want flexible living spaces and low-maintenance outdoor areas as much as location itself right now. The $700,000 to $1.2 million band is drawing strong first-home-buyer interest, and with clearance this consistent across brackets, well-presented homes are finding buyers quickly and confidently.
