Auction clearance rate — above 65% signals a strong market

Best Suburbs for Share Houses in Melbourne 2026

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Melbourne has one of Australia’s strongest share house cultures. In the inner suburbs, sharing is often a lifestyle choice, not just a financial one. In the outer suburbs, it is primarily about affordability. Here is what each area offers.

Fitzroy, Collingwood, Brunswick — the classic share house belt. Expect older terrace houses, 3-5 housemates, and a social scene built around the house as much as the suburb.

Melbourne Apartments: The Honest Guide

Apartments in Melbourne range from excellent to terrible, often within the same suburb. The difference usually comes down to build quality, body corporate management, and location fundamentals. Here is what to check.

Downsizing in Melbourne 2026 — Best Suburbs for Over 55s

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Downsizing in Melbourne — The Practical Guide

Selling a family home and moving somewhere smaller is one of the biggest financial and lifestyle decisions Melburnians make. The right suburb makes it feel like a new chapter. The wrong one makes it feel like a compromise.

What Downsizers Want

Based on market data and buyer feedback, Melbourne downsizers typically prioritise:

Walkability — shops, cafes, and medical facilities within walking distance
Public transport — train or tram access, reducing car dependence
Community — active local scene, neighbours, cafes to become a regular at
Low maintenance — small garden or courtyard, not a postage stamp balcony
Safety — well-lit streets, low crime, community feel

Top Suburbs for Downsizers

Bayside and Southern

Brighton — Premium option. Beach access, village shopping strip, medical precinct nearby. Downsizer apartments and townhouses $900K-$1.4M.

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Investing in Melbourne Property in 2026

Melbourne remains one of Australia’s top investment markets due to consistent population growth, a diverse economy, and rental demand that shows no sign of slowing. But not every suburb delivers the same returns.

Lalor/Thomastown — inner-north value with decent yields

Melbourne Property Market — Q1 2026 Update

Melbourne’s property market enters 2026 with cautious optimism. Interest rates have stabilised, auction volumes have recovered, and population growth continues to put pressure on housing supply. Here is the current snapshot.

Property Type	Melbourne-Wide	Inner City	Middle Ring	Outer Ring
House	$950,000	$1,400,000	$1,050,000	$680,000

Melbourne Rental Guide 2026 — What to Know Before You Sign

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Melbourne Rental Market in 2026

Melbourne’s rental market has shifted significantly since the pandemic. Vacancy rates have stabilised but remain low in inner suburbs. Outer suburbs offer better value, and the supply of new apartments in the CBD and Docklands has created pockets of opportunity for renters willing to look beyond the traditional inner-ring.

Average Weekly Rent by Region (2026 Estimates)

Region	1-Bed Unit	2-Bed Unit	3-Bed House
CBD/Docklands	$420-$480	$550-$650	N/A
Inner North	$380-$450	$520-$620	$650-$800
Inner South	$400-$480	$550-$680	$700-$900
Inner East	$370-$430	$500-$600	$650-$850
Inner West	$350-$420	$480-$560	$600-$750
South-East	$300-$360	$400-$480	$450-$550
Outer North	$280-$340	$370-$430	$400-$500

Melbourne Suburbs with Best Train Access — Living Near the Station

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Train Access Defines Melbourne Property Value

Best Inner Suburbs for Train Access

Walking distance to station + express CBD access:

Richmond — 3 lines converge, 5 minutes to CBD, multiple stations
South Yarra — Frankston and Sandringham lines, 8 minutes to CBD
Footscray — Regional hub, 10 minutes to CBD, multiple lines
North Melbourne — Craigieburn/Upfield lines, 5 minutes to CBD
Clifton Hill — Hurstbridge/Mernda lines, 10 minutes to CBD

Middle Suburbs with Strong Train Links

Box Hill — Belgrave/Lilydale lines, 25 minutes to CBD, major bus interchange
Caulfield — Frankston/Cranbourne/Pakenham, 15 minutes to CBD
Essendon — Craigieburn line, 18 minutes to CBD
Moonee Ponds — Craigieburn line, 15 minutes to CBD
Preston — Mernda line, 20 minutes to CBD
