As we head into the Easter long weekend, the market across Melbourne remains active, with buyers continuing to inspect properties in the lead-up to the short seasonal pause.
While long weekends can sometimes slow activity, we’re continuing to see motivated buyers out in the market, particularly those eager to secure a property. Open home attendance has remained consistent, and enquiry levels continue to show buyers are still actively engaged.
Importantly, we will still be conducting selected open homes on Saturday, as advertised online. This ensures buyers still have opportunities to inspect and make decisions, while sellers continue to benefit from exposure during this key period.
The weeks leading into Easter have been busy, and this momentum is expected to carry through into the weekend itself. Buyers remain well prepared, having spent recent weeks monitoring the market and attending inspections. When the right opportunity presents itself, they’re ready to move with confidence.
For sellers, this reinforces the importance of preparation and timing. Even during holiday periods, well-presented and well-priced homes continue to attract attention. Maintaining visibility and accessibility over the weekend can often lead to strong post-holiday results.
As we move beyond Easter and into the next phase of the market, there remains strong opportunity for those considering selling in the coming months.
If you’re thinking about making a move, or would like to understand how your property sits in the current market, our team are available for a confidential conversation.

Barry Plant - Essendon | Keilor East | Gladstone Park
Bringing the outside in is more than a design trend, it’s a philosophy of living. In today’s refined homes, plants aren’t just accents, they’re integral to the atmosphere.
From sculptural fronds in a light-filled living room to quiet ferns nestled into a bathroom corner, greenery adds life, rhythm and grace. When carefully selected and placed, indoor plants bring softness, structure and a sense of calm.
Plants offer a rare duality in design, they energise and soothe. Their natural textures temper sleek materials like stone or steel, while their shifting leaves mirror the change of seasons. Paired with the right planter or pedestal, they become functional sculpture, breaking up blank walls and adding dynamic height. Above all, plants make a house feel alive, without compromising elegance or restraint.
Sculptural Greenery as a Statement
Not all plants are created equal in a luxury setting. Large-scale varieties like fiddle-leaf figs, bird of paradise or rubber plants bring height and drama to open-plan spaces. Their broad leaves cast elegant shadows and create visual punctuation without needing florals or patterns. Treat them like artwork, consider the vessel, placement and light interplay to turn greenery into a bold, living feature.
Small Touches with Big Impact
Smaller varieties, think string of pearls, Chinese money plants or trailing pothos, offer soft moments of green in shelving, bathrooms or bedside tables. These delicate touches don’t just fill a gap, they add intimacy and approachability. Opt for groupings in varying heights or textural combinations to create layered interest without crowding the room.
Light, Humidity and Harmony
Success with indoor plants is all about balance. Choose species that match the home’s orientation and use. Bathrooms benefit from humidity-loving ferns and calatheas, while sunny corners are perfect for succulents and alocasias. Grouping plants by light and water needs ensures longevity and cohesion. When thoughtfully curated, plant placement becomes a subtle thread that ties the home together.

Property Management
We’re seeing an interesting shift in the rental market across Melbourne. While some assume activity slows over a long weekend, we’re continuing to see consistent enquiry and motivated renters still looking to secure their next home.
This time of year, often creates a sense of urgency, with many renters wanting to finalise their move before the holiday period and upcoming school holidays. As a result, inspection attendance has remained steady, and quality applicants are still actively engaging with properties currently on the market.
Importantly, while it is a long weekend, we will still be conducting a number of open homes on Saturday, as advertised online. These inspections provide renters with valuable opportunities to view properties and ensure there is no loss of momentum during the holiday period.
For rental providers, this continued activity reinforces the importance of being prepared. Ensuring your property is well presented, competitively priced and ready for inspection can make all the difference when attracting strong tenants — even during traditionally quieter periods.
We also continue to work closely with rental providers to ensure properties remain compliant with the evolving requirements across Victoria. Staying proactive with maintenance, reviews and communication helps protect your investment and maintain long-term stability.
As we move through the Easter period and into the next seasonal shift, now is an excellent time to review your property’s performance and ensure you’re well positioned for the months ahead.
If you would like an updated rental appraisal or a review of your current management strategy, our team is always here to assist.
