CoreLogic Head Researcher, Cameron Kusher, noted that this change may be reflective of the overall slowing down in the housing market.

“The number of properties for sale is climbing in Sydney and Melbourne, providing for less urgency amongst buyers and more time to negotiate.

“As stock levels rise, buyers become more empowered and vendors may need to rethink their pricing expectations and marketing strategies,” said Mr Kusher.
