Oakleigh East

A Family Suburb With Room to Move

Oakleigh East's three-bedroom homes are the clear volume leader this month, with 47 sales at $1.105 million and a solid 73 per cent clearance rate in around five weeks. Four-bedroom family homes are trading higher at $1.22 million, though clearance eases to 48 per cent as buyers become more selective at that level.

Apartments are performing well too, with three-bedroom units clearing at 83 per cent at $907,500, well ahead of the smaller two-bedroom segment at $637,000. Two and five-bedroom houses round out the rest of the market in modest numbers.

With just under half of local households families, buyers want flexible living spaces and genuine outdoor areas as much as proximity to schools and transport. Confidence remains cautious, but well-presented homes priced to the current market, particularly in the $700,000 to $1.2 million range, are still finding strong, genuine interest.
