Key observations

  • Capital cities are cutting deeper than the regions. Metro suburb drops averaged -6.8%, significantly steeper than major cities at -5.9%. Of the new sales drops, 50% came from Tier 1 capital city suburbs. The conventional wisdom that regional markets are the soft spot isn't showing up in the data this week.
  • VIC's upward repricing is an outlier. VIC contributed 91 of the 153 national sales rises (59%), with a far lower drop-to-rise ratio of 2.7:1 compared to NSW (6.4:1) and QLD (18.6:1). This continues the pattern from previous weeks and likely reflects agents adjusting underquoted initial prices after regulatory pressure.
  • Sellers appear to be pricing more realistically from the start. Only 29% of properties sold below final asking price this week (24 of 82, average gap -2.3%), a notable improvement from last week's 34% (average gap -3.8%). Combined with the most severe drops landing between -21% and -16% rather than the -25%+ range seen last week, this suggests vendors are setting more realistic initial expectations rather than chasing the market down.
