The first quarter of 2025 saw strong buyer activity across Bayside, with competitive auctions and increased supply meeting high demand. Premium homes, particularly those in sought-after school zones and lifestyle-focused locations, were highly contested. Upgrading families dominated the market, prioritising turnkey properties that offered immediate liveability.
Buyer confidence surged, with inspection numbers rising and preauction offers becoming more frequent. A growing sense of urgency led to faster decision-making, as buyers sought to secure homes before competition intensified.
A combination of Auction and Expressions of Interest campaigns proved effective, with sales strategies tailored to buyer profiles, price points, and vendor motivation. The most in-demand properties were move-inready family homes, reflecting a strong push from young families looking for space, school proximity, and well-zoned living areas.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to remain strong, with fear of missing out influencing buyer behaviour. Increased attendance at inspections and rising enquiry levels suggest continued momentum, while pre-auction offers are likely to remain a common tactic as buyers attempt to avoid bidding wars. With confidence high and competition fierce, the coming months present a strong opportunity for both buyers and sellers in Bayside.
