MELBOURNE MARKET REVIEW WITH DAVID BARBER
Melbourne continues to show strong market activity, alongside increasing demand for off-market opportunities. Many vendors, particularly downsizers, are choosing to test the waters quietly before launching full campaigns, leveraging Marshall White’s extensive buyer database. This discreet approach has resonated well, particularly amongst those seeking a more tailored selling experience.
We are also seeing significant buyer movement from neighbouring municipalities like Stonnington and Boroondara, reinforcing the area’s appeal to established homeowners looking for lifestyle and location. Demand spans all price points, and auctions remain the preferred method of sale. Many properties are transacting prior to or under auction conditions with competitive bidding and strong results.
Interestingly, there has also been a shortage of online listings, which has intensified buyer activity in the pre-market space. This has driven increased engagement from out-of-area and interstate buyers, often pushing prices beyond expectations. Looking ahead, market conditions remain healthy, with an anticipated rise in stock levels from August to September. With buyer behaviour stable and interest from premium catchments continuing, the outlook for the second half of 2025 is strong.

Marshall White leveraged our highly qualified and up-to-date database to introduce, negotiate, and successfully sell this apartment off-market within one week of appointment, setting a new price precedent at $4,936,000.
After attracting strong interest, this residence received three competing offers and ultimately sold at the top end of the quoted price range. A clear example of competitive tension driving premium outcomes.
