The city's median house price reached $964,000 in August, lower than early 2021, and new listings were down 17% year-on-year. Auction clearance rates also saw a significant drop compared to the previous year.

Buyers in Melbourne's western growth corridor might find a less competitive market with more room for negotiation. Sellers should be prepared for a more cautious environment, potentially adjusting expectations on sale prices and timelines.
