1. The Best Time to Sell in Melbourne: What You Need to Know
(Seasonal market trends and timing strategies)
Understanding Melbourne’s Real Estate Seasons
Each season affects buyer demand and selling prices differently:
- Spring (September – November):
• Peak selling season with increased buyer competition.
• Warmer weather and blooming gardens improve curb appeal.
• Higher auction clearance rates but more competition from other sellers.
- Summer (December – February):
• Slower due to holidays, but motivated buyers still look for properties.
• Less competition from sellers can mean a better sale price.
- Autumn (March – May):
• Strong market conditions with settled buyers after summer.
• Homes present well with mild weather and less extreme temperatures.
- Winter (June – August):
• Fewer listings, meaning less competition.
• Buyers in winter are often serious, leading to faster sales.
