BOROONDARA MARKET REVIEW WITH TOM ROGAN
The Boroondara market continues to respond strongly to wellexecuted auction campaigns, which remain an effective way of bringing buyers together and creating momentum around a sale. Even where a property is sold shortly after auction rather than under the hammer, auction campaigns are generally achieving shorter days on market than comparable private sale or expressions of interest campaigns, reflecting buyers’ willingness to make decisions within a defined timeframe. The strongest demand is for beautifully renovated period homes and high-quality contemporary residences, with buyers placing a premium on immediate liveability and favouring turnkey properties over those requiring significant renovation or improvement.
A defining feature of 2026 has been the strength of the upgrader segment, with families seeking larger homes remaining highly active and driving much of the demand across the municipality. Looking ahead, provided interest rates remain stable, we expect buyer confidence to continue to strengthen. Well-presented homes in quality locations should remain firmly sought after, supporting a steady and resilient market through the remainder of the year.
