Ep 68. | Don’t wait for Spring
In this episode of Buying Melbourne, we break down one of the biggest myths in property waiting for spring to buy or sell.
Right now, many buyers are sitting on the sidelines, hoping for certainty before making a move. But the reality is, by the time the market feels “safe” again, competition has already returned and prices have already shifted.
With softer clearance rates, increased stock levels, and reduced buyer urgency particularly across Melbourne’s inner markets the current conditions are quietly creating some of the best opportunities we’ve seen in recent months.
In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening in the market right now, how each season plays out for buyers, and where the smartest opportunities are likely to come from over the next six months so you can stay ahead of the competition, not behind it.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why waiting for spring often means paying more for the same property
- How current market conditions are creating hidden opportunities for strategic buyers
- What to look for in the autumn market including re-listed stock and price adjustments
- Why winter is one of the strongest buying windows (and why most buyers avoid it)
- How to use pass-ins and post-auction negotiations to your advantage
When the “smart money” actually transacts and why it’s before spring - A practical 6-month framework to help you plan, act, and stay ahead of the market
- The biggest mistake buyers are making right now and how to avoid it
