Seasonal timing guide

Autumn and spring
remain Melbourne's peaks.

Melbourne's inner ring historically sees the highest clearance rates and largest buyer pools in March–May (autumn) and September–November (spring). Listing outside these windows typically results in fewer bidders and weaker outcomes.

Current inner ring average clearance: 73% — conditions favour sellers heading into the next quarter.
