Over the past decade the number of real estate agents acting as buyer’s agents has increased, and buyers should consider using their services; after all, vendors always have an estate agent acting on their behalf, handling inquiries, marketing the property and ensuring the best possible sale price.
Buyer’s agents can be a good idea for the simple fact that most people don’t buy a home on a regular basis. As a result, they are not experienced in the market, don’t immediately know the prevailing market conditions in the area in which they want to buy, and don’t always have the benefit of the day-to-day monitoring of a local area that a buyer’s agent does.
A buyer’s agent can take the emotion out of the auction and negotiation process for you. They attend, bid at and engage in auctions every week and know when and how to bid to help deliver the best result. They will even tell you that sometimes the best result may be not to buy a home at a particular price because there is a more suitable property around the corner.
An REIV member buyer’s agent can bring that experience to the process by using their professionalism to deliver a better result for you.
In the same way as you would interview a few estate agents before engaging one to sell your home, you should interview a few buyer’s agents. This enables you to compare their services, knowledge and fees and find the right buyer’s agent for you. A list of REIV member buyer’s agents can be found at <a href="https://www.reiv.com.au/agency_search" target="_blank">here</a>.

Buyer's agents can help purchasers get the best result

From the broad perspective of changes in median prices, there are few differences between the market for units or apartments and houses.
The rises and falls in median prices have generally matched each other in the past five years.
Differences are, however, apparent when comparing at auction the performance of each class of dwelling.
Units and apartments count for one in three auctions, and the clearance rate has been higher than that for houses so far this year. This repeats a trend from last year.
This year, the overall clearance rate is 57% from slightly fewer than 23,000 auctions. Last year, it was 72%.
There have been about 7,500 unit and apartment auctions, with 59%. This compares with a 56.6 per cent rate for slightly more than 15,000 house auctions.
The level of overall demand for units and apartments matches the result in the Melbourne city centre market, where there have been 472 auctions, with 59% selling.
While Docklands and Southbank are dominated by units and apartments, there have been only 75 auctions this year, with private sales the preferred sales method.
Although volumes were lower last year, the differential in the clearance rate was similar, with 72% of units selling compared with 70% of houses.

Melbourne units selling better than houses

<html><body>
A review of some market indicators over the past 10 years shows that a lot has changed in the past decade.
In the June quarter this year the median Melbourne house price was $590,000, which is 103% higher than the $291,000 recorded in the June quarter 2001.
A decade ago the stamp duty payable was $13,120, which is 132%than the $30,470 that was payable on the median house if purchased in the June quarter this year. Unlike a decade ago, first-home buyers can now benefit from a 20% reduction on this bill for most homes.
However, the first-home owner’s grant was valued at $7,000 in 2001 and is still valued at $7,000.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the average home loan to a non-first-home buyer was $291,200 in June this year, 99% more than the $146,500 recorded in June 2001.
The median price of a house in Toorak was $2,175,000 in the June quarter this year, 105% higher than the $1,062,500 in the June quarter a decade ago.
In more affordable Broadmeadows the median was $370,500 in this year’s June quarter, a substantial 219% higher than the $116,000 in the June quarter 2001. This is indicative of a trend that the more affordable suburbs have increased in value more rapidly.
And finally, in the City of Ballarat the median house price has increased by 122% from $130,000 a decade ago to $288,500 in the most recent June quarter.

There has been an increase in the use of the term “discounting” to describe the local property market. Unfortunately, it is a term that fundamentally misunderstands the notion of value and price in residential real estate.
This is the same mistake many commentators made when the market was very strong and sale prices were regularly exceeding vendors’ and their real estate agents’ expectations.
It must be remembered that in most cases that a price on a real estate advertisement is under Victorian law an estimation. The estimate is often based on recent comparable sales and the real estate agent’s judgment. It is not necessarily the price the vendor will sell for, as that often fluctuates over the course of a sales campaign.
It is not clear that commentators using the term “discounting” actually know what a vendor will accept. If they do not then the term only describes the difference between the estimates and not the real value.
It is a truism in real estate that, no matter the state of the market, a property will only sell for the price a purchaser is willing to pay. This is very different from most retail goods – for instance, groceries – which are only available for the stated price.
For a sale to be achieved, the vendor must decide to accept what the market is willing to pay, and that number is an outcome of competition between buyers and other homes on the market.
This is why, as a service to the market, the REIV tracks and compares sale prices. By comparing actual sales, participants in the market can get a real indication if prices, overall or even in one suburb, are stable, dropping or rising. This is a far more useful and clear indication of the state of the market than discounting.

'Discounting' not an accurate estimate of the market

While the local economy remains healthy, property is likely to benefit from uncertainty in the stock market.
The last 20 years have shown that investment in Melbourne property has provided better returns that in the stock market, a factor that will encourage investors to shift their portfolio in favor of property.
The same study by RMIT which showed quarter on quarter growth of 1.6% for property compared with 1.3% for shares between 1990 and 2010. It also showed less volatility than shares.
A shift to property will not happen quickly. Investors have to study the market and then compete to buy the property of their choice. There are also higher transactional costs making it important to make the right decision.

Property offers better returns than share market

<html><body>
Over the last three weeks a number of articles have been published in The Age that have raised some questions about the integrity of our collection method, the clearance rate and the number of sales. As a result some people are concerned that the results published may not be representative of what is occurring in the market.
While we welcome scrutiny of the sales results collected and the clearance rate calculation, it is important that we set the record straight. The REIV provides all the sales results we collect each weekend to the media, this weekend we will collect approximately 1000 sale results. While we make every effort to collect each and every sale, there are some, around four a week, are not reported to us. It has been reported that some sales are reported with an undisclosed price. The vendor has a legal right to request that their sale price is not reported.
It is important to understand there is no legal requirement on agents to report for publication any sales results; the REIV encourages members to report to us so that the public can form their own view on the market.  In fact it was the REIV that started collecting and reporting both auction results and private sale results in 2004, this had not been done before.  Some other companies, including RP Data and APM, also collect results, but the REIV has the highest rate of collection which is why it is used by the media.
These results are first published on Saturday evenings on the <a href="https://www.reiv.com.au/Property-Research/Latest-sales.aspx">REIV website </a> and <a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/propertydata" target="_blank">propertydata.com.au</a>. They are also published in the Sunday Age and Sunday Herald Sun.
The clearance rate is available on <a href="https://twitter.com/REIVictoria" target="_blank">twitter </a>at around 6.30pm on Saturday.
Due to the need to meet newspaper printing deadlines, the collection of results closes at 5pm on a Saturday and 4pm on a Sunday. Results of auctions that the REIV understands to have occurred that are not received at that time are classified as "no result". On Monday the REIV contacts these agencies and updates the clearance rate with these additional results on a Wednesday and produces a revised clearance rate.
The REIV is committed to providing transparent information about the Victorian property market and will continue to do so to help buyers, sellers and our Members.
How the clearance rate is calculated
Each week the REIV calculates the expected number of auctions to be held based upon the number of properties advertised for sale.
First calculated on a Saturday and then updated on a Sunday and Wednesday, the clearance rate is calculated by dividing the total of those sold before, sold at auction and sold after by the number of reported auctions.
Auctions that are postponed or withdrawn are not included because they have not been subject to a full campaign. In the last four weeks there has been an average of five postponed and four withdrawn per week. Over the same time there has been an average of four results where we have not been able to obtain the result.
Classifying results
Over the past seven years the REIV has adopted the same methodology for classifying results.
<ul>
<li>Sold Before: Sold Before describes homes listed for auction but sold before the auction.  Depending on market conditions around 20 per cent of all homes offered at auction are sold before auction day. </li>
<li>Sold: Sold describes homes that are sold to the highest bidder at the auction or after the auction on the same day. </li>
<li>Sold After: Sold After describes homes sold the day after the auction and which are subject to auction conditions. This occurs for only a few homes each week. </li>
<li>Passed In: Passed In describes homes that are not sold. In this case, the buyers have not met the price expectations of the seller. </li>
<li>Passed In on a Vendor Bid:  Describes homes that are passed in but when the last bid was a vendor’s bid. It is a legal requirement that this information be disclosed if the result is published. </li>
</ul>
Example
<ul>
<li>A home is listed for auction at 3pm on Saturday. </li>
<li>If the home is sold on Friday, it is classified as Sold Before. </li>
<li>If the home is sold to the highest bidder at the auction it is classified as Sold. </li>
<li>If the home is sold by negotiation after being passed in on the Saturday it is classified as Sold. </li>
<li>If the home is sold on Sunday under auction conditions it is classified as Sold After. </li>
<li>If the home is sold on Monday it is classified as a Private Sale.</li>
</ul>

REIV authoritative source for clearance rate figures

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.
