Growth was widespread across Melbourne and at both ends of the market – from Toorak to Wyndham Vale and Roxburgh Park. Double digit growth was experienced in Camberwell, Prahran and Richmond. Significant growth was also recorded in affordable suburbs – Hillside in the city’s outer North West, St Albans, Sunshine West and Sunbury.

While fewer sellers are putting their homes on the market, prices are still extremely solid.
