Key observations

  • Rental drops more than halved week on week (531 vs 1,132) while sales drops rose 17% to 1,134. The fall is concentrated in inner city apartment markets: Mascot (↓12 vs ↓21 last week), Southbank (↓6 vs ↓13), and Waterloo now leading NSW at ↓13. These are the first suburbs to feel spring rental demand. After a winter peak of landlord cuts (732 to 1,027 to 1,132 over three weeks), the capitulation wave appears to have broken.
  • The discounting has spread beyond housing. 30 Pearsons Road, Trentham VIC, a working truffle farm listed at $3.6M to $3.9M, cut its range to $2.8M to $3.1M (down $800K at the low end). When lifestyle and commercial properties start repricing alongside homes, it signals sellers across every category are testing lower numbers. Farm and business listings are excluded from our rankings but tracked in the data.
