The auction market in Melbourne ended the fiscal year in a hot form, recording a 67.3 per cent licensing rate and surpassing the number and momentum of all other capitals.
PropTrack data shows that 338 of the 502 reported results ended in a hammer sale, led by Camberwell’s outstanding results, $3.4 million, Canterbury, $3.24 million, and Box Hill South, $3.05 million.
Ray White Gladstone Park and auctioneer Malek Younan said confidence is back and Melbourne is “ready to take back the crown”.

“Sydney and Queensland have their runs and it’s time for Melbourne to shine again,” said Eunan.
“We have been over-rebound. Low stocks and rising demand are driving prices, especially among the best options for $700,000-$800,000.”
Of the obvious sales this fiscal year, there are 32 Way Greenvale homes for $850,000.
A young Greenvale family sold their first home at 32 Ventura Way for $850,000, which is Melbourne’s competitive $700,000-800,000 market.
Malek Younan, director of Ray White Gladstone Park, said low stocks and strong demand are driving prices, especially in the north and west of Melbourne.
Mr. Yonan said July and August were well shaped, with power building in the north and west.
“The confidence to return to the market is not just a whisper,” he said.
Andrew Date, the industry’s in-house real estate director, said more than $10 million of off-market transactions are back, with $33 million in South Yarra homes to be offered recently.
16 Glyndon Rd, Camberwell: On the rankings, the home sold for $3.4 million, one of the biggest reports in Melbourne included this weekend in this fiscal year.
In the field of prestige, Andrew Daid, the industry’s in-house real estate director, said the deals of over $10 million in vending are “still outlining”, especially in Melbourne’s most unique area.
“Present buyers are paying close attention to the market, but when the right property comes up, they are ready to strike.”
“These are not impulse purchases, but lifestyle actions supported by serious capital.”
41 Highfield Rd, Canterbury: This classic home has solidified its suburb status for $3.24 million, one of Melbourne’s most popular East Enclave enclaves.
A property offers about $33 million in a recent non-market deal in South Yarra, focusing on the top new strength.
Simon Murphy, director of Melbourne property advocate, said demand is also hot in the growth corridor of value packaging.
“Frankston is booming in the north, and this is no longer the Frankston that was ten years ago,” Murphy said.
Simon Murphy, director of Melbourne property advocates, said strong demand in value suburbs such as Frankston North and Glenroy, with rezoning and infrastructure exacerbating growth.
31 Stott St, Box Hill South: The home sold for $3.05 million, ranks among the top five sales in Melbourne and shows a strong interest in the reputation of the middle level.
“Infrastructure upgrades and rezoning are turning it into a mini city.”
Mr. Murphy also pointed out that Carrum Downs, Langwarrin and Glenroy are new stars in affordability and future growth.
More listings are expected to be available in the spring, and agents say the fiscal year 26 is shaping Melbourne’s long-awaited comeback, with the city preparing to retake its title as a U.S. auction operation.
