The Melbourne real estate market recorded the largest increase in residential listings in May, according to recent figures from SQM Research.
During the month, approximately 4,000 residential properties were added to the city's residential housing stock, which equates to growth of 11.6%. This brought Melbourne's overall ranking to 38,447, the highest of any capital.
On an annual basis, Melbourne reported the smallest drop in enrollment to 4.3%.
Australian national stock increased 3.9% in the month to 304,137. Louis Christopher, managing director of SQM Research, said the national increase was due the fact that the older stocks weren't selling.
"New registrations actually fell for the month nationally, which is abnormal for May. Although we have seen increases in new registrations for Sydney and Melbourne, from other cities like Brisbane, Adelaide and others have registered a decline in the new stock, "he said.
Rob German, director of Full Circle Property Advocates, said that more stocks in Melbourne had been listed in the early days of June.
"Buyers can take advantage of the market because even if inventory levels are down, there is still quite a bit of off-market activity," German said in a report in The Herald Sun. "This puts buyers in a position of real strength and they can often negotiate at their price."
The increase in the stock of Melbourne residential properties occurred when prices started to show weakness.
Recent figures from CoreLogic show that the median value of Melbourne homes fell 0.9% in May to $ 686,798.
"With restrictive policies being gradually lifted or relaxed, the downward trajectory of housing values ??may be milder than expected," said Tim Lawless, director of research at CoreLogic.
