Ep.74 | Now Is The Best Time To Upsize In Melbourne

Show Notes:In this week’s episode of How’s The Market, we explore why now could be one of the best times to upsize in Melbourne.With the upper end of the market facing weaker auction results and more properties passing in or reducing their prices, buyers with the capacity to move up the property ladder are finding increased opportunities. We look at why some high-end homes are struggling to sell, while the lower end of the market continues to attract stronger competition.We also break down the potential advantage for upsizers who can sell in a stronger market and buy into a softer one — and how the difference between your selling and buying prices could work in your favour.From negotiating on quality homes that have failed to sell at auction to understanding how market conditions can impact your overall wealth position, this episode explains why the current market could create a unique opportunity for homeowners looking to make their next move.What You’ll Learn:Why the current Melbourne market could favour upsizersWhat weak auction clearance rates at the $1.5m+ level are telling usWhy quality homes are still selling while others are struggling to attract buyersHow passed-in properties and price reductions can create opportunitiesWhy the lower end of the market is currently performing better than the top endHow selling below $1.5m and buying above $1.5m could give upsizers greater leverageHow the difference between your selling and buying prices can work in your favourWhat buyers should look for when negotiating on high-end propertiesWhy timing your sale and purchase correctly is criticalHow smart upsizers can use current market conditions to improve their position👋 About the ShowHow’s The Market is Melbourne’s go-to podcast for buyers and property owners who want to understand what’s really happening in the market.Hosted by Tristan Larkin and the team at Tomii Property, we break down auction results, pricing, negotiations, finance and real-world market shifts — giving buyers and upsizers the insights they need to make smarter property decisions.Resources & LinksJoin our mailing list & read the blog → www.tomii.com.auSubscribe for weekly auction results → www.tomii.com.au/auction-resultsFollow Tristan on TikTok & Instagram → @tristanlarkinFollow James on TikTok & Instagram → @james__rankin
