Ripponlea is a small, characterful pocket built around its heritage estate and village, and its houses rarely come to market. So few trade that reliable house medians are not published, which tells its own story: the period homes here are tightly held, and when one does become available it is a genuine event.
The everyday market is led by apartments. One-bedroom units near $322,500 offer an affordable foothold close to the station and the village, appealing to first-home buyers and investors alike.
With confidence returning across the inner south and buyers engaging more actively, well-presented homes in a distinctive pocket like this attract real interest. For vendors, whether selling a rare period house or a well-located apartment, presentation and realistic pricing to recent comparable sales are what matter most. A turn-key home brought to market at its best is the one that stands out and draws competition as momentum builds into spring.

Good property management should remove uncertainty, not create more of it.
If you're considering engaging a property manager, one of the first questions you're likely to ask is: how much does property management actually cost?
Owning an investment property and owning a good investment property are not necessarily the same thing. It’s an important distinction, and one that property investors should revisit regularly.
The Reserve Bank's decision to leave the cash rate on hold at 4.35 per cent is welcome news for buyers, sellers and businesses alike. While it's not a silver bullet for Melbourne's property market, it should provide some reassurance that the aggressive phase of the interest rate tightening cycle may be easing.
