LISTINGS ACTIVITY October witnessed new listings reach 50,059 properties nationally, representing a substantial 11.3 per cent increase from September’s 44,961 listings. This marks the seasonal peak for 2025, slightly below October 2024’s 51,820 but significantly ahead of October 2023’s 44,961. The strong October result reflects the traditional spring listing surge, with vendors capitalising on the final weeks of peak selling season before the summer slowdown. Year-to-date performance shows 2025 tracking consistently above 2023 levels, though generally below the elevated volumes observed through much of 2024. The October peak follows a steady build through the winter and spring months, with listings climbing from January’s 34,767 to the current level. With November and December traditionally marking sharp declines as the market enters its holiday period, the strong October foundation suggests solid supply entered the market during the critical spring window, though ongoing annual comparisons indicate supply remains below last year’s levels across most of the year.
