The $560,000 to $700,000 bracket is the most active in Pakenham in 2026. Two recent rate rises have made the upper end of this range more price-sensitive.
The deepest buyer pool
Homes priced between $560,000 and $700,000 typically spend 30 to 42 days on market when priced correctly. Properties in this bracket are currently in the best position to attract active buyers.
Higher price points
The market is thinner from $720,000 to $800,000, with fewer buyers qualifying at this level. Sellers should expect longer campaigns, typically ranging from 45 to 60 days.
The lower end of the market
Properties below $560,000 consist mostly of townhouses and older stock. This segment attracts a narrower buyer pool than the mid-range family homes.
The honest reality
Two RBA rate rises in the past two months have tightened buyer borrowing capacity. Properties sitting at 2024 prices are not selling, as these costs flow directly through to what buyers can afford to pay.
Questions to consider
- Does your property sit within the $560,000 to $700,000 bracket where demand is currently deepest?
- If your home is valued above $720,000, are you prepared for a campaign that typically lasts 45 to 60 days?
- Is your asking price based on today’s buyer reality or outdated 2024 figures?
