The Barry Plant Eastern Group has had another fantastic week of sales, with outstanding auction results across our offices. Despite Melbourne’s chilly weather, buyer confidence was strong, and most properties sold on the day.

Buyers Acting Faster in 2025
We’re seeing a clear shift—buyers are making quicker, more confident decisions. With expectations of price increases later in the year, many are securing properties now rather than waiting.

Stronger Buyer Activity & Increased Inspection Numbers

Open for inspections saw another rise in numbers this week, with buyers telling us they expect prices to climb in the second half of the year. This is leading to:

• More motivated buyers looking to purchase sooner
• Stronger competition at auctions, delivering great results
• Increased confidence in property as a long-term investment

What This Means for Sellers
