Key observations

  • VIC dominates national sales drops with 684 of 1,674 (41%). The biggest cut was a Pakenham house halved from $1.2M to $600K, while Cranbourne fell 35.7% and Glengarry dropped 34.1%. Melbourne's outer growth corridors carry the heaviest discounting pressure, with Ocean Grove (11 drops), Clyde North (11 drops) and Berwick (10 drops) the hardest-hit suburbs.
  • Sales drops outnumber rises 4:1 (1,674 vs 392). NSW follows VIC with 521 drops concentrated in Umina Beach (7) and Moss Vale (6). Rental drops hit 1,561, with NSW dominating at 840 (54%), led by Sydney (22), Bondi Beach (16) and Coogee (13).
  • VIC dominates the rises board. Victoria accounts for 260 of 392 sales rises (66%), with Fingal Bay up 31.4% and Carrum climbing 28.2%. Queensland managed just 11 rises across the entire state. Unlike drops which cluster in outer suburbs, rises are spread across inner and middle-ring markets.
