Listings are lower across nearly all capital cities to end of September

There's less than 6 weeks of fresh listings available til the Xmas holidays are upon us, with new listings typically ceasing by mid-November. All capital cities were down on listings month-on-month (MoM), and only Perth and Adelaide were up year-on-year (YoY)to Sept. So, it wasn't Melbourne vendors holding off until after the AFL Grand Final long weekend that caused the drop in listings - it was same story nationally.

Lower stock listings doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a fixed number of properties available. A greater trend towards off-market sales is alive and well. Talk to local real estate agents to see what they have, or may have, for you to look at. It may surprise you.
