Best time to buy and sell homes: each Aussie suburb revealed

A groundbreaking study just cracked the real estate timing code — revealing which months attract the highest and lowest prices.

Forget what your mate in real estate told you — new research has blown the lid off the housing market’s best-kept secret: seasonal timing.

The data showed homebuyers generally landed the best deals right before and after Christmas, while sellers raked in more cash in autumn, when listings were lower and competition among buyers was higher.

But don’t start circling March or December on your calendar just yet — experts warned the perfect time to buy or sell varies wildly across the country, with some suburbs breaking all the rules.
