Yahoo Finance Top 20 suburbs for buyers starting from $252,000
The Aussie property market is finally cooling but some suburbs have been hit harder than others by a lack of buyer demand.
The suburbs have all experienced an increase in the number of days on the market while the number of potential buyers has remained steady, according to research commissioned by online property sales platform Openn.
Openn managing director Peter Gibbons noted this research could help sellers better understand the current market conditions and level their expectations.

“Pricing a property is incredibly difficult when market conditions shift rapidly,” Gibbons said.
“Agents and sellers must carefully consider their pricing and sales strategy, as the longer a property is on the market, the less buyers expect to pay.”
The 20 suburbs are spread across the country, with 10 in Queensland, four in Tasmania, three in Victoria, two in New South Wales and one in South Australia. Additionally, 13 are house markets and seven are unit markets.
