The Selective Buyer Holds the Cards

North Melbourne's buyers are firmly in control right now, and nowhere is that clearer than in the house market. Two and three-bedroom homes are clearing at around half, with buyers comparing widely and in no hurry to commit, wary of paying above what recent local sales actually support.

The apartment market is more active, with 363 unit sales this year, up 16.0 per cent, and clearance at a solid 79.4 per cent. Buyers here want a home they can move into without further work, and units that meet that bar are clearing quickly and confidently.

Sellers need to price to this year's genuine evidence rather than an older figure, since buyers are quick to move past anything that looks ahead of the market. With more stock expected as spring approaches, presentation and realistic pricing will matter even more.
