Feature Property
27 Dickens Street, Glen Iris
Ashburton and Glen Iris with Ash Howarth
During this past quarter, auctions remained the dominant sales method in Ashburton & Glen Iris, driven by strong buyer demand and competitive bidding. Many properties exceeded price expectations, with unconditional sales providing certainty for sellers. Well-presented homes in sought-after suburbs performed particularly well, attracting significant interest from families and upgraders.
Three to four bedroom family homes were the most in-demand, especially in areas close to quality schools, parks, and transport. Many buyers moved up from apartments, seeking more space and improved lifestyle amenities. The shift towards remote and hybrid work also influenced purchasing decisions, with buyers prioritising properties that offered dedicated home office spaces. Features such as flexible layouts, additional rooms, natural light, soundproofing, and high-speed internet became key considerations.
Looking ahead, these evolving lifestyle needs are expected to shape market trends into the rest of 2025. As demand for well-designed, functional homes continues, properties that cater to flexible working arrangements and family living are likely to remain highly sought after. With confidence in the market strengthening, competition is expected to persist, making it an opportune time for both buyers and sellers to engage in the market.
