St Kilda East's apartment market continues to set the tempo. One-bedroom units near $400,725 have been clearing at close to full strength in about a month, and the deep two-bedroom market, with over a hundred sales, is clearing at around two in three, as affordable, well-located stock draws confident buyers in genuine numbers.
The house market is more measured. Two-bedroom homes clear at around seven in ten, while the three-bedroom near $1.601 million is the more selective segment, rewarding realistic pricing and a presentation that removes any hint of further work required.
With upsizers dominant in the $1.2 million to $2 million band and the broader mood balanced rather than urgent, buyers across every bracket are responding most to homes that have been decluttered and depersonalised. A turn-key property that offers an easy, immediate transition is the one converting genuine interest into a confident offer.

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.
