4207 Suburb Report – March Performance & April Outlook
March 26, 2025
As we close out March and roll into April, the 4207 property market continues to show measured, steady performance. The arrival of autumn typically marks a key period for real estate activity, and this year is no different—though the pace has adjusted slightly, opportunities remain for well-prepared sellers. A shift in listing volumes, consistent buyer demand, and improved vendor outcomes suggest that April still holds promise for those considering a move.
March Market Recap: (Last 30 Days)
Seller Confidence Remains Despite Lower Listings
Over the past 30 days, 253 new listings were recorded—a 20.94% decrease from the previous period. This decline may indicate a more selective approach by sellers or hesitation amid broader market movements. However, reduced listing volumes also mean less competition for those entering the market now, offering an advantage to sellers looking to stand out.
Homes Spending Slightly Longer on the Market
The average days on market increased to 43.04 days, up 6.72%. While homes are taking slightly longer to sell, this shift is not drastic and reflects a stabilising market rather than a slowdown. Pricing strategy and presentation remain critical to attract serious buyers.
Improved Vendor Outcomes
The average vendor discount has narrowed to -0.32%, down 67.35%. This is a noteworthy improvement, as it shows that sellers are achieving results much closer to their asking price—an encouraging sign that buyers remain confident and engaged.
Sales Volume Eases, but Stability Holds
119 sales were recorded over the past month, representing a 24.2% decline. While this drop reflects reduced transaction volume, it aligns with the decrease in new listings and suggests the market is maintaining balance rather than experiencing a sharp decline.
Withdrawn Listings Also Decline
There were 141 withdrawn listings, down 23.78%, indicating that more properties are staying the course through to sale or that sellers are waiting for more favourable timing. This trend supports the notion of a more thoughtful and strategic seller mindset.
Rental Market Activity Remains Balanced
Rental listings edged down slightly to 427, a 1.16% decrease. This minor adjustment suggests ongoing demand in the rental space, maintaining investor interest and highlighting continued tenant activity in the region.
Why April Offers Strategic Selling Conditions
Window Before Winter – April is one of the last strong selling months before the cooler weather and shorter days set in. Listing now allows sellers to stand out while competition is still manageable and buyer motivation remains high.
Seasonal Appeal – Autumn is traditionally a favourable time to sell. With milder temperatures and longer daylight hours, homes present better at open homes and photography sessions. This natural advantage can improve buyer perception and lead to stronger interest
Momentum from March – Despite lower listings and a moderate slowdown in sales, vendor discounting has dropped significantly—by 67.35%—suggesting sellers are in a strong position when homes are priced and marketed effectively.
Current Market Key Takeaway:
March’s performance has laid a thoughtful, balanced foundation for the month ahead. With fewer homes on the market, improved pricing outcomes, and a stable rental environment, April presents a valuable window for homeowners considering a move.
