Melbourne's housing market continues to produce strong results for most sellers despite the usual flood of late Spring listings. In the local market, we have seen a rise in buyer and seller confidence with auction results having consolidated at the highest levels since the downturn two years ago. The Barry Plant Eastern Group reported an auction success rate of 90% this weekend which is 18% above the industry average.

In the municipalities of Manningham, Whitehorse, Nillumbik and Banyule buyers are competing furiously to secure the keys to an early Christmas present before the market closes for the festive period.

So what does this mean? As many of our vendors can attest, utilising a local, experienced and award-winning team is crucial to ensuring a premium result. This correlates to the Barry Plant Eastern group meeting more buyers, many of whom are keen to move swiftly on purchasing this side of the New Year.

If you've been contemplating a move, or simply want to understand how you too can take advantage of the demand in the current market and ring in the festive season with a SOLD, contact one of our team members today.
