Australia’s fastest-selling suburbs are in Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide, with many homes changing hands within only two weeks of being listed.

New data from PropTrack shows that the fastest-selling suburb in Australia for houses is Carrum Downs in Melbourne’s southwest, where it takes on average just 12 days for a house to sell.

It is followed by Woodvale in the Joondalup LGA in Western Australia, where it takes 13 days.

Bridgewater in the Adelaide Hills is the fastest-selling suburb in South Australia, with houses taking on average 14 days to change hands.

In Queensland the top performer is Upper Brookfield in the western suburbs of Brisbane, where it takes 15 days. Also in the top ten fastest-selling suburbs is Moulden in the Northern Territory, where it also takes an average of 15 days to sell a house.

The fastest-selling unit market is Daglish in Western Australia, where it takes on average just 8 days to sell and The Gardens in the Northern Territory and Springfield Lakes in Queensland, where it takes ten days on average to sell.

According to PropTrack, the short-selling times reflect that strong underlying demand and suggest momentum will continue and prices will rise even further in 2026.
