BAYSIDE MARKET REVIEW WITH JAMES COLYVAN
Expressions of interest campaigns have been the most widely used method of sale across Bayside, with buyer activity more selective over the quarter, while auctions continue to perform solidly in the $2 million to $3 million range. Off-market campaigns are delivering strong outcomes for vendors who prefer a more discreet approach, and motivated buyers working closely with agents are securing quality homes ahead of broader competition. Family residences within the established school precincts of Brighton, Brighton East and Hampton are the most keenly contested.
Demand has tilted firmly toward homes that require little to no work, with elevated building material and trade costs making renovation projects less attractive. Activity from both buyers and vendors is driven by family circumstances rather than speculation, with growing households, relocation and changing personal situations as the dominant motivations. These drivers are expected to shape the second half of 2026, with financial considerations emerging as a secondary influence. Values are holding firm as buyers and vendors continue to transact with confidence, and our focus is on guiding clients through a period of uncertainty with clarity and assurance.

This is Brighton at its best, with incredible "never-to-be-builtout" views of sea, sand and sunsets. The perfect backdrop to grand-scale living in this magnificent beachfront home. This is a prestige beach location with iconic bathing boxes over the road (at nearby Dendy Beach) and close to Church Street shops, cafes and excellent schools.
