Melbourne in a minute. ⏱️

Melbourne’s property market remained relatively consistent over the past week as winter conditions, ongoing economic uncertainty and the recent Federal Budget changes continue to influence buyer behaviour. However there were still over 700 property transactions in Melbourne.

Auction activity was a bit softer than we have become used to, with a total of 462 auction results reported to the REIV so far this week. Delivering a preliminary auction clearance rate of 63%, with 289 properties selling and 173 properties passing in. A further 437 properties were reported as sold via private sale during the week.

While the auction clearance has dipped slightly, well presented and well priced homes continued to attract good interest, particularly from owner-occupiers who remain active in the market. The auctions we attended on the weekend all sold under the hammer to owner occupiers. While investor activity has slowed as buyers continue to assess the proposed changes to negative gearing and Capital Gains Tax, the overall market remains reasonably balanced due to continued owner occupier demand.

On a separate note, a significant regulatory change comes into effect from 1 July, with all real estate agents and buyer’s agents becoming reporting entities under Australia’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) program.

Buyers and sellers can expect additional identity verification and compliance checks as part of property transactions moving forward, bringing the real estate industry into line with obligations that apply to banks and financial institutions. While the changes will create additional administrative requirements, they are designed to improve transparency and strengthen the integrity of Australia’s property market.

Living in the US our client needed helping selling a house she had owned for a long time in Moorabbin. A past client suggested to her she use our Vendor Advocacy service.

The 4 bedroom single story brick property on 543m2 was in original condition. And we must admit it made a few of us feel nostaglic about 70s decor. It was solid, with original hardwood floors hiding under the carpet and was an easy walk to the station, cafes, supermarket, park & school zones.

We partnered with Buxton to conduct the auction campaign and on the first open we had:

✅ 25 groups through
✅ 5 contract request, and
✅ 1 offer!

During the week the interested party increased their offer and the property was on the market after the second open. By that evening, the property was sold with a total of 5 parties bidding via text message for the property.

We didn't even make it auction week!

The property sold for $1.18 million, which was an excellent result as only two months earlier a property in the same street, with an updated kitchen and brand new bathroom sold for $1.09 million.

Needless to say our client is rapt and has already engaged us to sell another property.

Melbourne in a minute.

With auction activity quiet last week following the King’s Birthday long weekend, Melbourne’s property market returned to more typical levels this week with over 800 transactions across both auction and private sale platforms. Buyer demand remains relatively steady, with well presented and properly priced homes continuing to attract reasonably solid interest.

A total of 513 auction results have been reported to the REIV so far this week, delivering a preliminary auction clearance rate of 72%, with 369 properties selling at or before auction and 144 properties passing in. A further 428 properties were reported as sold via private sale.

As the market continues to digest the recent Federal Budget announcements, investor activity remains somewhat cautious, although owner occupiers continue to transact with confidence. This is helping to keep overall market conditions reasonably balanced, particularly in Melbourne’s middle ring suburbs where demand for family homes remains consistent. Buyers are still active when properties are priced appropriately and presented well.

Adding further stability to market sentiment is the growing expectation that the Reserve Bank of Australia will leave interest rates on hold at its upcoming meeting. With economists at the major banks now forecasting no change to interest rates, both buyers and sellers are benefiting from a more predictable lending environment, which should help support confidence as we progress into the winter selling season.

Old man drew is a fantastic cafe in Ascot Vale. The large outdoor courtyard is a feast for the eyes with every nook and cranny decorated and the building itself has stood since 1868.

Another successful result for our Vendor Advocacy team in Blackburn 🏡

We were referred to this family by their financial planner after their parents moved into aged care. To help fund ongoing care fees, the family needed to sell the long-held family home.

Our role was to manage the entire process and make it as stress-free as possible. We coordinated the removal of all furniture and belongings, arranging for items to be sold, donated to charity, or responsibly disposed of. We also organised garden maintenance, minor improvements, and professional styling to present the property at its best.

Working alongside Jellis Craig Whitehorse, we helped guide the campaign from start to finish. Buyer interest was strong throughout, with one purchaser standing out after completing a building inspection early in the campaign.

While auction day didn't deliver the competitive bidding we had hoped for, we strategically passed the property in to the strongest buyer and entered negotiations.

Just 30 minutes later, we secured a successful sale of $1.68 million.

A fantastic outcome for the family and another example of how expert guidance and strategy can make all the difference.

A great result for our client! 🏡

We first met in September 2025 and, after waiting for her investment property to sell, officially began the search in February 2026.

After exploring several options, we found a home that ticked all the boxes. Just needing a few cosmetic updates to make it her own.

We secured the property before auction in April. Despite another buyer offering a higher price, our stronger terms and settlement conditions won the deal.

From arranging building and pest inspections to now coordinating minor maintenance and cosmetic improvements, it's been a pleasure helping our client every step of the way as she transitions into her new home.

We had a fantastic experience working with Antony and National Property Buyers.

Within just 2 weeks of using Antony's buyer's agent service, he helped us secure the perfect house. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Not only did Antony help us buy our new home, but he also assisted with selling our unit and achieved the price we were hoping for. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Antony was always available to answer our questions and provided expert advice every step of the way. We are extremely grateful for his support and guidance throughout both the buying and selling process.

We will definitely be using Antony's services again in the future and highly recommend him and the team at National Property Buyers to anyone looking for a trustworthy and results-driven buyer's agent.

Thank you, Antony!

Our clients loved using our dual service and the convenience of having one company to manage the sale and purchase of their home.

Friends, who were past clients of ours referred this family to us after they had been struggling on their own. Using our Buyer Advocacy service we found and secured them a 4 bedroom home in Croydon on 1200 sqm for $1,350,000.

We then got to work as their Vendor Advocates and helped prepared their Ringwood East property for sale. After reviewing the local agents, and with the tick of approval from our clients we engaged Fletches as our selling partners.

The campaign attracted excellent numbers so much so that we had to adjust the price guide from $650-700k to $680-740k. On auction day 3 bidders competed for the property pushing the price further north still until it sold under the hammer, above reserve for $753,000.

A great outcome for our clients who are looking forward to moving into their new home.
