Where Every Bracket Finds a Buyer

Oakleigh continues to anchor this part of the market with genuine depth across every bracket right now. Two-bedroom houses are trading at $988,500, and three-bedroom homes lead on volume with 37 sales this year at $1.29 million and a strong 76 per cent clearance rate.

Four and five-bedroom family homes remain firm above $1.3 million, while apartments are a real feature of this suburb too, with two-bedroom units at $540,000 clearing at 73 per cent and three-bedroom units reaching $878,000. Buyers here are selective but committed once a home genuinely presents well.

With close to half of local households families, proximity to Oakleigh's shopping strip, schools and transport continues to matter a great deal. The $700,000 to $1.2 million band remains the most active, and well-presented, accurately priced homes are the ones generating genuine competition through the whole campaign.
