As of August 2026, Melbourne's housing values fell by an additional 1.1%, placing the market 6.5% below its November cyclical high and 6.8% below the March 2022 peak. This sustained downturn indicates a significant market correction.

For Melbourne's western growth corridor, this extended period of decline suggests a challenging environment for sellers. Buyers with secure finances may find opportunities, but overall market sentiment will likely remain cautious.
