Buyers Are Picturing Themselves in It

Elsternwick's period homes are the clearest example of what's working right now. Three-bedroom houses near $1.7825 million are clearing at around four in five in a quick five weeks, as buyers respond to homes that have been decluttered and depersonalised enough to picture themselves living there immediately. The two-bedroom apartment market is deep too, with over a hundred sales this year clearing at around seven in ten.

Four-bedroom homes are the more selective step, clearing closer to half, a reminder that at the top of the market, presentation and realistic pricing both matter more, not less.

With upsizers dominant and the $1.2 million to $2 million range the most active band, the mood is balanced rather than urgent. Buyers are engaged but discerning, and a turn-key home that removes the cost and uncertainty of renovating is consistently the one creating a genuine emotional connection and a stronger offer.
