2025 In Mount Waverley (XMAS EDITION)

---

• The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Cash Rate decreased to 3.6% with hopes of further rate cuts in 2026
• Renovated homes have performed exceedingly well over the past 12 months
• Increased Land Tax  & Mortgage Rates make Victoria less favourable to invest in real estate
• Average Clearance rate in Vic @ 63%, Mount Waverley @ 70%
• October was the biggest month for listed and sold properties in Mount Waverley
• Rental Properties returning an average yield 2.4% in Mount Waverley

How has this affected our Marketplace:

• Despite increased cost of living,  Auction clearance rates in the area remain strong relative to metro averages, suggesting buyer competition is still solid.

•  Immigration & Lack of Property available has fuled demand for Rental & Sale Properties 

•  Houses are selling reasonably briskly with median days on market around 40–60 days, indicating steady demand. 

• Average weekly rents approximate $700+ for houses 

• Many investment homeowners have chosen to sell their properties and reinvest in different cities, or cash out altogether and find alternative markets to invest.
