Key observations

  • Sales drops fell 31% week on week (816 vs 1,179), snapping a three-week climb, while rental drops jumped 33% to 915. NSW rentals lead at 486 cuts, concentrated in the inner-south apartment belt: Waterloo (↓21), Zetland (↓16), Mascot (↓12). The seesaw pattern suggests spring buyers are meeting sellers on sales while landlords carry the adjustment load.
  • The prestige repricing wave continues. 31 Montalto Avenue, Toorak VIC cut $1.50M to $6.50M (-18.8%) after 87 days, following Surfers Paradise's $1.80M cut last week and Kew's $1.44M the week before. Three straight weeks with a $1.4M+ single-property reduction is unprecedented in our tracking.
  • The fastest big cut of the week came from 5 Laggan Street, Oakville NSW: 31% off to $1.38M just 4 days after its $2M launch. A landlord on the rental side matched the speed: 760 High Street, Melton West VIC cut 33.3% within 13 days of listing.
