New data reveals that 82.2% of Australian suburbs experienced declines in house values over the past three months, with the unit market also significantly affected. This widespread downturn is attributed to a combination of interest rate increases, global events, and federal tax reforms.

Melbourne's western growth corridor is likely to be part of this broader trend of declining values. Buyers may find more options and less competition, while sellers should be realistic about pricing and market conditions to achieve a timely sale.
