Well Money CEO Scott Spencer said he was pleased to see buying conditions had become easier for all the suburbs in the top 20 ranking.
“Over the past three months, inventory levels have increased in all the suburbs, which means there’s more stock on market, buyers have more options and downward pressure is being placed on prices, which should translate into discounts sooner or later,” he said.
“That’s good to see, because while it’s nice for people’s homes to increase in value, we don’t want working families to be priced out of the market.
“All the suburbs in the top 20 ranking are family-friendly as well, which means they contain a lot of families, they contain a lot of owner-occupiers, they’re relatively close to capital city CBDs and they’re above-average in terms of educational and occupational status.”
