What Happens When a Property Sits on the Market Too Long? Michael Explains

September 21, 2026

Melbourne’s inner-north market moves fast—so when a property lingers, it sends signals to buyers. Michael Tomadakis notes that extended days-on-market often mean greater discounting, higher buyer skepticism and reduced auction interest. Buyers may wonder what’s wrong, or look for negotiation opportunities. Michael’s strategy: track time on market relative to area averages, review what’s happening with similar homes, and reset the campaign if needed. Never just leave it to sit—active steps restore momentum.
