Market pulse: what are you seeing at inspections and auctions?

One running thread for weekend reports. Suburb, property type, how many groups, and how it went. I'll start: Norwood, Adelaide. Three bedroom villa, about 30 groups through, sold before auction.

    Saturday in Preston: three auctions. Two sold under the hammer, one passed in and sold an hour later. Plenty of first home buyers, very few investors.

    Geelong West open home had 25 groups through in 30 minutes. The quoted range felt 50k light to me.

    Same story in Brisbane's north. Anything under 900k with a yard gets crowded. Units are quieter.

    Perth is still tight. Two homes I inspected went under offer before the first weekend was over.

    Quieter in Newcastle than in autumn. Agents are calling back now, which tells you something.

    Interesting. In Adelaide's southern suburbs I'm still seeing multiple offers on anything renovated.

    Parramatta units: lots of stock and hardly any investors. A few owner occupiers picking off the good ones.

    Hobart feels flat. Days on market are long and vendors are starting to meet the market.

  9. Olivia N. ·

    Ballarat auctions this weekend: one sold, two passed in. Bidding stopped at the bottom of the quote range.

    Western Sydney townhouses are moving, but buyers are pushing hard on building reports and strata minutes.

  11. Jess T. ·

    Canberra is soft for units. Houses in established suburbs still draw a crowd on Saturday.

  12. Marco D. ·

    Inner west Sydney: one terrace, 40 groups, sold well over reserve. Hard to read much into one sale though.

  13. Hannah B. ·

    Great reports so far. If you can, add the suburb and the property type so others can compare like with like.

    Fair point. Preston again: two bedroom units sitting for six weeks, three bedroom houses gone in two.

  15. Tom W. ·

    Torquay is the opposite of Geelong. Holiday homes listed in winter are still sitting there.

  16. Mei L. ·

    Logan houses under 650k still draw 15 to 20 groups. Investors are back there.

  17. Daniel K. ·

    Mandurah too. A lot of eastern states buyers bidding sight unseen through buyers' agents.

  18. Chloe R. ·

    Lake Macquarie waterfront has cooled. Agents are inviting offers now rather than holding firm.

    Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills: new estates competing with established homes, so prices are flat.
