Melbourne’s houses for less than $ 1 million could be established for a mini-boom, and the new data that shows that families rush to ensure properties before competition exploits.

Only 856 houses will be put under the hammer this week, including less than 300 prices below $ 1m, but auction volumes will increase to 1270 next week and more than 1400 the week later, an increase of 29 percent at this time last year.

Proptrack figures show that Melbourne’s listings fell 13 percent in April, driven by school holidays, long weekends and federal elections.

But the setback has left less houses in the sacrifice, as special in the price range of less than $ 1m for the family.

The senior economist of Proptrack, Anne Flaherty, said that buyers who pursue affordable homes were being squeezed in a small pool.

“The demand increases below $ 1m, but the number of appropriate properties is decreasing,” Flaherty said.

“And if we get a rate cut next week, that will only overheat the competition.”

He said that the houses the size of a family, the houses, the people with three or more bedrooms disappeared quickly.

The key reasons why the real estate market of less than $ 1m of Melbourne is exploiting.


“Now there is a much higher concentration of buyers at that price level,” he said.

The outstanding defender of buyers, Cate Bakos, said families flooded Frankston, Thomastown and Sunshine, chasing land, lifestyle and school zones.

“Places like Frankston won to stay below $ 1 million for a long time,” Bakos said.

“They are the last affordable pockets near infrastructure, lifestyle and schools. And we are already seeing the activity of recovery investors.”

The director of Defense of Mr. Madeleine Roberts said that Frankston Homes had increased more than $ 200,000 since November, and the demand increased rapidly.

“You are seeing buyers who were looking at Cheltenham or Bentleight now chasing houses in Frankston, because that’s where space is,” he said.

“But there are not enough houses for everyone.

“We are seeing 10, 15, only 20 families that pursue the same property if it is fine and is well located.”

Defense director Madeleine Roberts said buyers with a price of Bentleight were now attacked to Frankston, where there were not enough houses for everyone.


She said many families were surprised by what had become strict school zones.

“They assume that they will have more flexibility, but if a school has demand, it must be in the area, there is no way to avoid it.”

Mrs. Flaherty said the signs of a new wave or buyer’s urgency were already emerging.

“There is a definitive feeling of the Fomo building,” he said.

“The typical Melbourne price is now below Brisbane’s, and only a little above Perths.

“Investors are realizing, including those of the interstatal.”

8 Tombon St, Wribee is aimed at the auction today with $ 800,000- $ 880,000 of price hopes.


Anne Flaherty of Proptrack said the reduction listings and imminent rate cuts are promoting an increase in buyers’ competition below $ 1m.


He also marked the outside Northast as an area to look at.

“There are still a number of suburbs there with housing prices prices below $ 1 million, excellent road links and trains, and once North East Link opens, connectivity will only improve.”

The suburbs with the largest amount of auctions this week include craigieburn, with 16, Glen Waverley, 15, and reservoir, 14.
