Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

WM Residences fills gap in Mordialloc townhouse market

&nbsp;

Developer GURNER™ Group has revealed $1.65 billion in residential sales nationally across the 12 months to December 2025, driven largely by the continued momentum of its Docklands wellness-focused precinct, Elysium Fields.

The sales result was generated across seven projects in Victoria and New South Wales, headlined by Elysium Fields, GURNER™’s $2.75 billion mixed-use precinct planned for Harbour Esplanade in Docklands.

The project has recorded more than $500 million in sales across the first three towers, equating to around 580 apartments sold.

The first tower, Helios, has now sold out of its 240 private residences, with GURNER™ preparing to release a premium penthouse collection comprising 15 three-bedroom penthouses in coming weeks.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144441 project_image_fid=370975]

Elysium Fields is being developed on the long-held 20,000 sqm Docklands site at 208-226 Harbour Esplanade, which had remained undeveloped for more than two decades prior to GURNER™ taking over the project around four years ago.

Construction has now commenced across four towers ranging between 18 and 30 storeys, with Hamilton Marino and Maxcon appointed as builders.

Once complete, the precinct is expected to comprise around 1,100 residences, alongside retail, hospitality and public realm uses integrated throughout the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144441 project_image_fid=370981]

Designed by Fraser &amp; Partners in collaboration with GURNER™ Design House, the project has been positioned around the developer’s broader focus on wellness-led residential living.

“We don’t sell apartments. We create a true luxury lifestyle that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere in the market today,” Founder and Executive Chairman Tim Gurner said.

“To deliver that requires an extraordinary level of detail, coordination and discipline across multiple verticals, from design and hospitality through to wellness and service.”

“We’ve always believed that living extends far beyond the physical residence. It’s about how you feel the moment you arrive, how you live day-to-day, and the ecosystem that supports that.” 
[smartcode_project:default project_id=144441 project_image_fid=370977]

The project’s design places a heavy focus on landscaping, wellness amenities and biophilic design principles.

Plans include around 3,700 sqm of landscaped gardens and open space throughout the precinct, alongside a retail and dining offering spanning approximately 5,000 sqm.

The broader public realm strategy centres around what GURNER™ describes as the “Path of Life”, an urban forest and landscaped pedestrian environment intended to connect the various buildings and wellness spaces across the precinct.

The apartments themselves will incorporate a range of wellness-focused inclusions, including purified air and water systems, circadian lighting, antimicrobial surfaces, and optional in-home wellness upgrades.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144441 project_image_fid=370980]

Gurner said the company’s experience through its Saint Haven wellness clubs had directly informed the residential offering now being incorporated into Elysium Fields.

“We’re seeing a clear global shift toward longevity, performance and proactive health,” Gurner said.

“Our role is to deliver that in a way that feels seamless, highly private and beautifully resolved within the environments we create.”

A large component of the wellness offering is planned through the resident amenity and health facilities proposed within the precinct.

That includes plans for bathing and recovery facilities spread throughout the towers, incorporating mineral pools, saunas, steam rooms, flotation therapy, red light therapy and wellness lounges.

The developer is also seeking approvals for what it describes as a “reverse ageing medical clinic” within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144441 project_image_fid=370978]

According to project information released by the group, the proposed facility would include cryotherapy, IV infusion therapy, infrared and dry saunas, PEMF beds, MRIs, DEXA scans, brain scans and blood analysis services.

Within the first tower, Helios, residents will also have access to a dedicated amenity offering known as the Sky Private Club.

The upper 15 levels of the building will include private lounges, dining spaces, rooftop amenities and optional private wellness studios integrated within residences.

The Helios tower itself comprises 260 apartments ranging between 60 sqm and 300 sqm, including a collection of penthouses.

That includes a planned two-storey penthouse spanning around 600 sqm with uninterrupted bay views.

The Elysium Fields precinct is being delivered in partnership with Digital Harbour Holdings, a consortium that includes the Liberman family, which controls the development rights across the Docklands site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144441 project_image_fid=370979]

The sales result comes as GURNER™ continues expanding its national development pipeline beyond Victoria.

“We have a strong pipeline across Australia and are now focused on scaling into key markets including New South Wales and Queensland, while continuing to build on our Melbourne base,” Gurner said.

“We currently have more than $3 billion in the market, growing to over $5 billion by October, and expect to materially outperform last year in the 2026 calendar year.”

The result also reflects the continued strength of the upper-end apartment market in Melbourne, particularly for owner-occupier-focused product with large-scale amenity and lifestyle offerings.

Record result anchored by the Group’s “utopian” Elysium Fields precinct – defying market headwinds in Docklands.

Elysium Fields drive Gurner to $1.65 billion in apartment sales over 2025

National Australia Bank (NAB) will fund <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmera-residences-gold-coast-18-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Palmera</a>, a $1 billion, 52-level luxury residential tower being developed by Central Equity in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held coastal locations at Northcliffe.

The project, launched recently by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/central-equity">Central Equity</a>, one of Victoria’s largest private residential developers, comes at a time when construction funding for large residential developments has become increasingly competitive as lenders tighten exposure to the sector.

Multiplex has been appointed the builder, and construction is now underway.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365784]

Since its first project, Central Equity has delivered more than 85 residential developments with a combined end value exceeding $8 billion.

Palmera reflects Central Equity’s growing focus on the Gold Coast luxury apartment market and continues a relationship between Central Equity and NAB that dates back to the late 1980s, when the bank funded one of Melbourne’s earliest inner-city residential towers at a time when high-rise apartment living in the CBD was largely unproven.

“NAB’s funding of Central Equity’s $36 million CBD development in the late 1980’s to the financing of the billion-dollar tower today highlights the long-term relationship between the two organisations in delivering major residential projects” said Central Equity Founder and Chairman Eddie Kutner.

He said NAB’s early support was instrumental in helping establish the company’s development model.

“When we commenced our first residential tower in the late 1980s the concept of funding off-the-plan apartments was still largely untested in Australia,” Kutner said.

“NAB recognised the opportunity early and supported the project when others were uncertain. That relationship has now continued for more than 37 years across many developments.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365771]

Central Equity was established in 1987 when Melbourne’s CBD and Southbank precinct were still dominated by warehouses and commercial buildings. Fewer than 100 residents lived in Southbank at the time, and large-scale residential development in the inner city was not widely considered.

Recognising changing demographics and lifestyle preferences, the company began developing high-rise residential projects designed to bring permanent residents into the city centre.

Central Equity has provided accommodation for approximately 40,000 residents across Melbourne’s CBD and Southbank, while also incorporating supporting infrastructure including essential lifestyle facilities like retail spaces, childcare facilities and neighbourhood activity centres.

Central Equity has spent many years assembling the Palmera development site on the corner of Garfield Terrace and Frederick Street in Northcliffe, creating a supersite of around 3,300 sqm.

The developer said the Palmera apartment tower reflects its long-term view of the Gold Coast as a growing and increasingly diversified economy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108274 project_image_fid=365768]

Supported by infrastructure including the light rail network, major road upgrades expanded education, hospital and medical facilities and continued expansion at the Gold Coast Airport with more international and domestic flights.

Positioned in the tightly held Northcliffe precinct, the 52-level tower will deliver 347 apartments, targeting buyers seeking a high-end coastal lifestyle, from downsizers to interstate investors.

Designed by Marchese Partners with interiors by DBI, Palmera has been conceived as a next-generation residential offering, featuring a collection of oversized apartments, with premium three-bedroom residences offering sweeping northern views stretching from Surfers Paradise through to Burleigh Heads.

NAB funds $1 billion Surfers Paradise apartment development, Palmera

Two years after completing one of the newest developments in North Sydney, developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a> is turning its attention to the rapidly evolving St Leonards apartment market.

The developer, which completed AURA by Aqualand on North Sydney's Walker Street, has lodged plans for a 5,918 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/33-37-herbert-street-st-leonards-nsw-2065">33-37 Herbert Street, St Leonards,</a> seeking approval for a pair of residential towers rising above a shared podium opposite Royal North Shore Hospital.

The proposal forms part of the broader transformation underway across the St Leonards-Crows Nest precinct, where former industrial and commercial sites are increasingly being redeveloped into high-density mixed-use projects tied to major transport infrastructure.

<img alt="Aqualand" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2cc428cf-fe70-4cac-9cd5-264ad53af62c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.51.56%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=otKSnHtbjAvAddOnovyXQMgcAwE6DMe1" />

According to the planning documents, the site sits “within the St Leonards–Crows Nest Strategic Centre, identified by the NSW Government as a key area for accommodating future jobs and housing across Sydney.”

The proposal has been designed by fjcstudio, formerly FJMT Studio, and is being progressed through the State Significant Development pathway due to its scale and affordable housing provision.

The scheme would comprise 413 apartments, including 46 affordable housing units, alongside retail and commercial uses fronting Herbert Street. The project would also include communal open space, landscaping, a swimming pool, gymnasium, children’s play areas and podium-level resident amenities.

Planning documents show the development would consist of a part-13, part-39 storey tower form positioned above a four-storey podium.

“The development comprises a unified podium that activates the street interface, and two setback towers to accommodate new housing supply while maintaining an appropriate human scale at ground level,” fjcstudio noted in its Design Report.

The northern and southern towers have been shaped to respond to the surrounding skyline while also limiting overshadowing impacts to nearby public open space, particularly Talus Reserve.

The design report said the differing tower heights were intended to “contribute to a varied skyline while responding to the surrounding built form context and solar access considerations.”

<img alt="Aqualand" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="36da62dc-ff9e-41f2-a7e3-7be38373751c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.51.45%E2%80%AFAM_0.png?VersionId=Mo6Rp2r.XRLTzIfg_PEEpw8NepDH8UBs" />

The site sits directly opposite Royal North Shore Hospital and within walking distance of both St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

While the site itself sits just outside the formal Crows Nest Transport Oriented Development boundary, the planning documents repeatedly reference its alignment with the broader TOD objectives reshaping the Lower North Shore.

“The site is located adjacent to St Leonards Station and in close proximity to Crows Nest Metro which is within the Crows Nest Transit Orientated Development Accelerated Precinct which has been identified by the NSW Government to support housing delivery,” the Design Verification Statement noted.

According to fjcstudio, the project has been designed to respond to the broader transition occurring across St Leonards, where increasing residential density is being concentrated around transport infrastructure and employment hubs.

“The broader precinct is undergoing significant change, with a mix of existing mid-rise buildings and newer high-density developments,” the report stated.

“Recent and approved projects indicate a consistent shift toward taller built form, typically organised as tower-and-podium typologies with more active ground levels.”

The proposal includes close to 6,000 sqm of retail and commercial space across the ground floor and podium levels, designed to create a more activated street edge along Herbert Street.

Aqualand’s plans would also introduce a landscaped podium shared between the two towers, with communal open space in the form of a podium rooftop designed to support resident interaction and improve urban greening outcomes. The scheme would also introduce pocket parks at the northern and southern ends of the site, including a landscaped area at the corner of Herbert and Ella streets designed to improve pedestrian amenity and soften the streetscape.

&nbsp;

The proposal is being progressed through the NSW Government’s Housing Delivery Authority pathway, which was introduced to accelerate housing supply across the state. The application was declared State Significant Development in April 2025 following an expression of interest process.

<img alt="Aqualand" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="faf6d97d-2671-454f-b85a-fe1c6a7be608" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%209.51.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=diVd28OBVr5.YV.7prrOz.uAanwwwm7a" />

St Leonards has been particularly active with new developments in recent weeks. Developer SP Setia’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-sp-setia-targets-st-leonards-skyline-with-40-storey-tod-tower">plans for a new 42-storey tower</a> recently went on exhibition through the same pathway, while <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/nsw/first-look-stockland-plans-52-storey-538-apartment-st-leonards-tower">Stockland’s 52-storey tower proposal</a> was also recently unveiled.

Aside from the St Leonards project, which is expected to take around nine months to move through the approvals process ahead of a potential 2027 launch, Aqualand is also preparing to launch Boronia, a new apartment project in Roseville comprising around 111 apartments on Larkin Street.

The developer also has approvals in place for the next stage of the Barangaroo precinct, which will feature new residential, retail, hospitality and community uses, alongside a new metro entry across the five-hectare site.

More than 50 new retail destinations are planned for Central Barangaroo, alongside a 270-metre-long boulevard connecting Hickson Park to Nawi Cove. Together with Harbour Park, more than 50 per cent of the precinct will comprise public open space and parkland.

Victoria’s most pricey property to sell at auction on the weekend was a house in Toorak for $3.525 million.
The stylish three-bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-toorak-117970939" target="_blank">14 Glen Road</a> is on a 888 square metre block near the Kooyong Tennis Club. Local agent RT Edgar Toorak handled the sale, according to Australian Property Monitors.
About 100 people attended the ­auction where there was a single bid of $3.2 million. Subsequent negotiations took the sale price higher, said RT Edgar’s Jeremy Fox. 
The modern renovated house is built around a central courtyard and last sold in 2003 for $2.15 million.
The median house price for the area dipped in September with RP Data pegging the median at $2.4 million. In September 2013 the median price was $2.667 million. 
According to RP Data, growth among house prices in Toorak is at 4.2%. In April 2012 the Glen Road house had been available to be rented for $1,390 a week.
One recent sale nearby was 7 Glen Road, which exchanged for $4.15 million<a name="_GoBack" style="line-height: 1.3em;" href=""></a> while 23 Glen Road traded last year for $3.9 million.
The Melbourne weekend home auction market lifted at the weekend following two weekends of falling clearance rates, according to APM.
Melbourne reported a 76.4 percent clearance rate compared to the previous weekends 73.8 percent - the lowest result so far this spring.
Although Melbourne reported an improved result this weekend, the underlying trend has fallen recently, APM senior economist Dr Andrew Wilson said.
"Current clearance rates however continue to reflect solid local market conditions with competition amongst buyers for property encouraging for sellers," he said.
Some 1005 homes were listed for auction at the weekend, well ahead of the previous weekends 903 and also up on the 938 auctioned over the same weekend last year.
Over 1500 auctions are scheduled in the metro area in the usual pre-Melbourne Cup long weekend holiday Super Saturday of auctions.
Melbourne’s eastern suburbs continue to dominate auction results again reporting the highest regional clearance rates at the weekend.
The outer east led again with a clearance rate of 88.3 percent with 83 sales from 94 auctions.

Adelaide’s most expensive property to sell at auction last weekend was a $1.195 million Californian bungalow in Glenelg.
The 1935-built residence is at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-sa-glenelg-117941435" target="_blank">14 Maturin Road</a>, just a few streets back from the beach and Jetty Road attractions, according to Australian Property Monitors.
The sprawling five-bedroom house is 243 square metres in size and features an Art Deco cocktail den. It is on 968 square metres of land and was sold through Harris Real Estate Glenelg.
The house last traded in 2005 for $750,000.
According to RP Data, the median house price for Glenelg, which is 9 kilometres from Adelaide, was $1.2 million in August this year.
However, the statistics show that the suburb sits within a dramatic statistical growth cycle. In 2013 growth in Glenelg was negative 20.8% while in 2012 it was up more than 22% on 2011’s negative growth of 22.5%. 
Over five years, RP Data has the suburb’s median house price up by 20%.

Melbourne market shifting in favour of buyers: RP Data's weekend auction preview

Melbourne’s auction numbers for the September quarter have raised the bar for auction clearance rates.
The city had about 8,165 auctions in the past three months, which is 15% up on the same time last year, according to Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV).
Melbourne’s middle and outer suburbs staged more auctions and accounted for 16% of total auctions, showing a 3% increase.
Clearance rates in middle suburbs remained strong led by Dingley Village, Bulleen and Montmorency with clearance of over 90%.
A four-bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/10-st-marks-close-dingley-village/Property-Details-sold-residential-7544324" target="_blank">10 St Marks Close, Dingley Village</a> sold for $773,000 through Buxtons. The median house price for Dingley Village is $605,000 according to realestateview.com.au.
Inner locations such a Hawthorn East and Collingwood also posted high clearance rates.
Renovated houses in Hawthorn East are hot items with a three-bedroom Invermay Close house <a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/3-invermay-grove-hawthorn-east" target="_blank">selling for $1.22 million</a>.
 “The inner and middle south-east and eastern suburbs have consistently been the city’s hot spots in terms of the volume of auctions,” says REIV chief executive Enzo Raimondo.

In Sydney a preliminary clearance rate of 75.8% was recorded compared to 76.4% last week. It is interesting to note that there have been 43% more auctions this year than was the case last year, remarkably the clearance rate has not been affected.
In Melbourne there was a preliminary clearance rate of 67.2% recorded compared to 69.1% last week and 74% this time last year. This was the 15th week with in excess of 1,000 auctions.
In Brisbane a preliminary clearance rate of 54.2% was recorded compared to 47.4% last week.
Adelaide recorded a clearance rate of 58.7% compared to 53.7% last week.
In Canberra a clearance rate of 56.4% was recorded.

Auction volumes projected to reach a high in late October: RP Data's national auction wrap

<html><body>
There is seemingly no rush to auction this spring in Sydney.
Yes school holidays slow things down, but until a few months ago, the auction schedule was chockers.
Typically 30% to 50% above the levels of the same time in 2013.
But this has changed considerably.
This week APM report Sydney has 723 listings, which is 3.1% up year on year.
Melbourne has 855, which is 1.1% up year on year, according to APM with RP Data, which includes Geelong and the Mornington Pensinsula putting the number at 992 auctions scheduled in Melbourne this week, down compared 1008 this weekend last year. 
Perhaps inversely the easing in high levels has something to do with the strong auction market, that is, buyers snapping up property, often before they are formally listed for sale.
Auction listings have flattened over recent weekends, with the regular gap between this year and past years almost disappearing.
Weekends over the winter months in Sydney were especially up on last year by 24%; 52%; 31%; 35%; 54%; 37%; 37%; 32% and 61% on the June long weekend. 
Listings on the Lower North Shore are down 10%, according to Raine &amp; Horne, making it a sensible time to sell ‘hard to shift’ properties.
Such properties that took three months to sell last year are being snapped up in the current market, the agency has noted.
SQM's Louis Christopher has detected the same overall easing trend in his data which includes private treaty volume.
"Sydney is leading the charge, with substantial decreases both on a monthly and yearly basis," said Christopher. 
"We can see that contrary to the seasonal trend which commonly sees an influx of listings hit the market at the beginning of spring, all capital cities recorded monthly decreases in stock, excepting Darwin which recorded a slight increase at 0.2%," he noted.

It is not to rule out that there won't be a late spring surge in volumes - especially for those who have held off until the garden is in full bloom.
And yes next weekend there is a small uptick. Sydney numbers look like dipping to just below 700, but that will be 13% up on the same time last year with Melbourne numbers up above 980, which is up 8% year on year.
However no super-dooper Saturdays on the horizon yet for Sydney. After this week there are only 10 weekends left this year for auctions, up to the Saturday December 19 last opportunity.
Melbourne has had seven 1,000 plus auction Saturdays so far this year, according to APM. And some 1800 auctions scheduled at the end of October 25, exceeding the previous record of 1600 set on the corresponding weekend last year.
Spring however will no doubt bring the constant Fair Trading crackdown stories with the tabloid and television headlines lapping up state government supposedly stepping up its vigilance against dodgy real estate agents.
There's already been chatter of NSW Fair Trading officers posing as young couples in order to expose underquoting.

Low Sydney stock suggests early bird vendors have already got their spring buyers

<html><body>
The next Millers Point terrace - part of the 214 freehold terrace properties being sold by the NSW state government - goes to auction tomorrow night, Thursday September 25.
There is no revealed price guidance for the Di Jones auction offering on <a href="https://www.dijones.com.au/millers-point-86-windmill-street/1704067/" target="_blank">Windmill Street</a>.
The 1880s heritage listed terrace (pictured above) has three levels.
"It is immediately liveable, as is, with modern finishes, and there is further potential for refurbishment or reconfiguration," the marketing says.
The next scheduled auction is the <a href="https://rwdbgroup.com/nsw/millers-point/1187867/" target="_blank">30 Argyle Place</a>, October 8 offering through Craig Pontey at Ray White Double Bay.
The NSW government has grossed $11.1 million from the first four property sales. 
The disposal, which will include the in one line sale of the 79 apartments in the Sirius building at The Rocks, appears set to inject more than $500 million into the government's coffers.
The Community Services Minister Gabrielle Upton says the proceeds will be returned to the social housing system, for repairs and new projects.
The social housing waiting list numbers around 58,000 households.

Just 60 auctions across Victoria on AFL Grand Final weekend

A preliminary weighted average clearance rate of 69.2% was recorded this week across capital cities compared to 72.3% last week and 73.1% this time last year.
<a href="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Capital-city.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g3739]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3740" src="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Capital-city-580x428.jpg" alt="RP Data auction review | Capital cities" width="580" height="428"></a>
The capital cities auction market has clearly lifted since winter, primarily due to strong demand in Sydney and to a lessor extent Melbourne.
In Sydney a preliminary clearance rate of 76.9% was recorded compared to 78.4% last week. Volumes continue to rise and are expected to double the lows of winter soon thereby increasing choice for buyers.
<a href="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Sydney.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g3739]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3741" src="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Sydney-580x380.jpg" alt="RP Data auction review | Sydney" width="580" height="380"></a>
In Melbourne there was a preliminary clearance rate of 69.3% recorded compared to 73.4% last week. Spring has started strongly but it is worth noting that due to significant rises in stock levels the auction market shifted towards buyers this time last year after the Grand Final.
<a href="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Melbourne.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g3739]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3742" src="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Melbourne-580x382.jpg" alt="RP Data auction review | Melbourne" width="580" height="382"></a>
In Brisbane a preliminary clearance rate of 41.4% was recorded compared to 48.2% last week. The low clearance rate compared to the larger capital cities masks the improvement, a 75% rise in homes sold at auction, compared to two years ago.
<a href="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Brisbane.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g3739]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3743" src="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Brisbane-580x386.jpg" alt="RP Data auction review | Brisbane" width="580" height="386"></a>
Adelaide recorded a clearance rate of 69.1% compared to 64.3% last week.
<a href="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Adelaide.jpg" rel="wp-prettyPhoto[g3739]"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-3744" src="https://blog.rpdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/20140929-Adelaide-580x382.jpg" alt="RP Data auction review | Adelaide" width="580" height="382"></a>
In Canberra a clearance rate of 57.8% was recorded and in Perth there was a clearance rate of 52%.
