Should You List Your Block of Units in Winter, Spring, or Summer? (Victoria 2026)

One of the top questions Simon Abbott hears from block-of-units owners is: “When’s the best time to go to market?” While many sellers think timing means everything, Simon’s experience across Victoria in 2026 says it’s about reading the right signals—stock levels, investor demand, and macro trends—not just picking a month.

Scenario: A vendor in Geelong delayed a spring auction for a 12-unit block because ‘spring is better.’ By the time they listed, two similar blocks had launched, diluting buyer attention and competition. Simon explains why acting before (or even after) the “peak season” led to fewer competing stock and stronger price tension in recent deals.

Investor Demand: Many investor-buyers actively look counter-cyclically—especially when rental yields are high or returning interest rates level out. In 2026, Simon has seen robust off-market investor interest in winter when listing stock is low and investor liquidity bounces back post-tax time.

Takeaways: Don’t over-rely on “spring bounce” clichés. Look at the investor pipeline, competing inventory, and whether your property type is truly seasonal. In blocks of units, match timing to demand, not calendars.
