STONNINGTON MARKET REVIEW WITH DAVID VOLPATO
Stonnington continues to be auction-driven, with demand focused on renovated character homes and contemporary residences that avoid the challenges of current construction costs.
Downsizers are playing a more active role in the market this year, targeting boutique apartments or single-level homes that balance quality with lifestyle. Families remain strong participants, particularly in locations close to parks, schools, and shopping precincts. Investor activity remains more measured, although enquiries are increasing as the rental market remains tight.
The end of winter saw a clear rise in inspections and enquiries as buyers returned from overseas and began re-engaging ahead of spring campaigns. This market momentum, combined with expectations of further rate relief, points to a positive spring season. Well-located and well-presented homes are expected to lead the way in achieving strong results, with further steady price growth likely across the next twelve months. JULY - SEPTEMBER 2025

Brilliantly renovated to deliver an alluring and sunlit, alfresco oasis in a peaceful, Chapel Street-adjacent cul de sac, this exquisite, north-facing, three bedroom residence is a blueribbon entertainer with the added prize of secure rear parking.
Behind a profile reminiscent of Saint-Tropez, this evocative solid brick Victorian residence’s stunning interior and exterior dimensions beautifully reflect the characteristics of French Provincial design and elegance. Recently reimagined by Brownlow Interior Design, the home distinguishes itself with warmth, joyful colours, and vibrant charm.
