The Value Seekers Are Out in Force

Oakleigh East's apartment market is where buyers are most clearly chasing value right now, with unit prices up 13.3 per cent to $850,000 and clearance climbing 16.0 per cent to a strong 84.4 per cent. Sales volume is up sharply too, 35.0 per cent higher than last year, a genuine sign of returning confidence.

Houses are holding steady at $1,185,500, up 7.8 per cent, with 98 sales this year, though clearance has eased to 63.6 per cent as buyers remain more selective about what they're willing to pay. Value and genuine lifestyle appeal are what's exciting buyers across every bracket here.

With upsizers dominant and the $700,000 to $1.2 million range the most active band, the mood remains cautiously optimistic rather than urgent. Sellers guided by current market conditions, with strong marketing and a well-presented property, are the ones best placed to convert this genuine buyer interest into a result.
