How long does it take to sell a house in Melbourne?

In 2026, the average Melbourne house campaign runs 30–45 days from listing to contract. Factors that affect time include price, presentation, local demand, and current interest rates. Off-market sales/or unmotivated agent campaigns may push past 60 days.

Reduce time to sell:

• Use an agent with fast turnaround results in your property type.
• Price competitively based on up-to-date appraisals.
• Invest in marketing that reaches real buyers (digital + social).
• Consider auction if competition in your bracket is strong (often faster than private sale).
