BAYSIDE MARKET REVIEW WITH BEN VIETH
Bayside continues to perform strongly, with auctions dominating as the preferred method of sale for freestanding family homes and prestige listings under $4 million, while offmarket and pre-release sales are proving effective at the upper end.
Renovated 4–to 5-bedroom homes remain the most indemand, alongside low-maintenance townhouses that appeal to downsizers seeking convenience near schools, shops, and the beach. Stock levels are beginning to lift, but demand has also strengthened following recent rate cuts, driving higher inspection numbers, faster decision-making, and competitive auctions. Families are prioritising school zones, walkability, and proximity to transport, while baby boomers downsizing and high-value vendors seeking their next prestige property continue to shape supply. On the buyer side, young families upsizing and returning expats are active, keeping competition healthy.
The outlook for the remainder of 2025 is positive, with Bayside’s lifestyle appeal continuing to attract steady local and interstate interest. With values already trending upward, further growth is anticipated into 2026, and buyers are encouraged to act decisively in what is set to be a busy spring market. JULY - SEPTEMBER 2025
