Key observations

  • Rental drops (1,027) outpaced sales drops (934) this week, with NSW rentals leading the slide at 564 drops. Inner-Sydney apartment suburbs dominate: Zetland (↓17), Mascot (↓14), St Leonards (↓11). The median rental drop hit 6.3%, ahead of the 5.9% sales median.
  • VIC remains the most active sales market with 282 drops and 80 rises, the latter accounting for 55% of all national sales rises this week. The wide divergence between VIC drops and rises points to a fragmented market where well-priced homes still climb while stale listings get cut hard.
  • Prestige sellers are capitulating. Three top-end cuts landed in the national top 5: 41 Wyuna Drive Noosaville down $2M ($15.5M to $13.5M), 71 Armadale Crescent Coolbinia down $1.60M ($4M to $2.40M), and 14 Glismann Road Beaconsfield VIC down $990K ($2.75M to $1.76M).
