Understanding the Melbourne Market

Listings rose 24% from 104 to 129 with the median fixed at $65,000 and demand in the 97th percentile. Melbourne matches Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Perth and Sydney exactly, with only Newcastle lower at $60,000. The 32% spread is narrow, and what separates the ends is licensing rather than seniority. At 35% salary disclosure the figure is moderately supported, though the national uniformity reinforces it.
