Key observations

  • Rental drops halved week-on-week (543 vs 1,132) while sales drops rose 18% to 1,136. The fall is concentrated in inner-city apartment markets - Mascot (↓12 vs ↓21), Southbank (↓7 vs ↓13), St Leonards (↓8 vs ↓13) - the first suburbs to feel spring rental demand. After a winter peak of landlord cuts (732 to 1,027 to 1,132 over three weeks), the capitulation wave appears to have broken.
  • The discounting has spread beyond housing. 30 Pearsons Road Trentham - a working truffle farm listed at $3.6M-$3.9M - cut its range to $2.8M-$3.1M (down $800K at the low end). When lifestyle and commercial properties start repricing alongside homes, it signals sellers across every category are testing lower numbers (farm listings are excluded from our rankings but tracked in the data).
  • The fastest big cut of the week came from 22 Fontanna Way, Springfield Lakes: $550K off to $1.15M (-32.4%) after 51 days at $1.70M.
