Volume Builds as Buyers Study the Market

Doncaster is doing serious volume this year, house sales up 8.5 per cent to 397 and the median price up 3.9 per cent to $1,460,500, even as clearance has eased 13.6 per cent to 59.3 per cent. That combination reflects buyers who are genuinely studying the last month or two of sales closely before deciding what to compete for.

The apartment market has eased slightly, unit sales down 2.5 per cent, with the median holding near $570,000. Days on market for houses have stretched to 59, up 18.0 per cent, while units have improved slightly, down 4.3 per cent to 45 days.

With value the clear driver of buyer decisions this year, vendors who present a genuinely walk-in ready home and price it to reflect exactly what's selling right now are the ones cutting through in Doncaster's genuinely large and active market.
