Melbourne's median home value is now $786,718, down 1.1% in August and 4.7% over the past year, sitting 6.8% below its March 2022 peak. Properties are also taking longer to sell.

This sustained decline in Melbourne's property values suggests potential buying opportunities in the western growth corridor, as sellers may be more willing to negotiate prices and market conditions favour buyers.
