More sales, faster selling times with falling land prices

Median home price declines and the decline in Melbourne property size during the June quarter were considered positive factors in the city's real estate market, boosting sales and reducing sales periods, according to the latest data from the real estate sector. Oliver Hume group.

Housing lots remained on the market for an average of 60 days during the quarter, significantly lower than the 87 days recorded in March. Sales volumes also improved to 550 months per month.

However, these recent figures are insignificant compared to their peaks. During the real estate boom of 2017, which lasted until the first half of 2018, housing changed hands after an average of 30 days, while sales volume reached 1,700 per month.
