Melbourne's housing market continues to show signs of resilience despite ongoing challenges, with several high-profile properties drawing attention in recent days. On July 19, 2026, a three-bedroom French provincial-style mansion in Moonee Ponds sold for $1.92 million at auction, $190,000 above its reserve price. Located at 155 Park Street, the red-brick home on a corner block featured multiple living and dining areas, a landscaped garden, and retained original 1990s carpets, tiles, and decor. The property, described by auctioneer John Morello of Jellis Craig Kensington as feeling “like going back in time,” attracted five bidders, with over 50 bids placed during the auction. The final sale price reflected a competitive market, though agents suggest overall prices remain downward trending. The sale came amid broader activity in the Melbourne property sector, with Domain Group reporting a preliminary auction clearance rate of 59 percent from 391 reported results. This marked a slight improvement from earlier figures in the mid-50s, indicating a gradual shift toward a more balanced market. However, agents acknowledge that prices are still likely to fall due to factors such as higher interest rates and legislative changes affecting negative gearing and capital gains. Morello noted that the volume of available properties has decreased by 20 to 30 percent compared to previous years, contributing to increased competition among buyers. In contrast to the high-end sale in Moonee Ponds, several affordable properties across Melbourne are currently attracting attention for their value and design. Among these, five notable homes are being offered for $900,000 or less. One standout is a two-bedroom apartment at 6/301 St Georges Road, Fitzroy North, part of a limited ten-unit development in the former Fire Station warehouse. The building preserves the original Metropolitan Fire Brigade facade, offering historical charm and character. The apartment includes secure off-street parking, a European-style laundry, and split-system heating and cooling, with a price guide ranging from $780,000 to $850,000. Scheduled for auction on July 25, the property is positioned to appeal to buyers seeking a blend of heritage and modern convenience. Another appealing option is a ground-floor apartment at 1/113 Mitchell Street, Northcote, situated within walking distance of High Street’s boutique shops, cafes, and arts precinct. Featuring natural light, timber flooring, and an open-plan living space that opens to an entertaining terrace, the apartment includes two bedrooms with built-in robes and a courtyard with native gardens and a bee house. Priced between $700,000 and $750,000, the property is ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers. In St Kilda, a two-bedroom apartment at 3/33 Neptune Street offers a mix of 1920s art deco architecture and modern upgrades. Located in a boutique building, the unit features high decorative ceilings, timber floorboards, and a fully equipped kitchen with granite benchtops and stainless-steel appliances. With a price guide of $630,000 to $650,000, the property also includes off-street parking and a private balcony. Further afield, a two-bedroom apartment at 7/6 May Street, Elwood, presents a contemporary take on art deco design. Renovated and located near Tennyson Street cafes, public transport, and Elwood Beach, the home boasts high ceilings, polished floorboards, and a modern kitchen with a stone-look benchtop. Priced between $650,000 and $695,000, the apartment enjoys a north-east outlook and includes a balcony. Lastly, a two-bedroom apartment at 4/35 Walsh Street, South Yarra, benefits from its proximity to the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Road’s cafes and dining venues. Recently landscaped by renowned designer Inge Jabara, the property features a north-facing layout, stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. The price guide ranges from $800,000 to $820,000, reflecting its prime location and upgraded interior. Despite the availability of these attractive properties, concerns persist regarding transparency in the real estate sector. Consumer Affairs Victoria has initiated legal action against Ray White Judd White Group and three of its agents, Andrew Dimashki, Anna Du, and Julie Wells, for allegedly underquoting properties by hundreds of thousands of dollars. According to CAV, the agents misled vendors by setting artificially low price guides while expecting commissions based on higher sale prices. Some agents reportedly assured vendors that the lower listed prices were merely strategic. While the allegations date back to before the agents joined Ray White, the company claims it has implemented stricter compliance measures to address such issues. As the market navigates through regulatory scrutiny and economic adjustments, buyers and sellers alike continue to seek balance. The recent sales and listings highlight both the opportunities and complexities present in Melbourne’s property landscape.
