May, traditionally one of our quieter months on the coast, has yet to embrace its customary stillness. Instead, the town remains bustling with activity. Currently, the days are beautiful and sunny, while the nights retain a refreshing coolness without the chill of winter settling in. The outstanding surf has disappeared, and the current weather reports have it looking grim for at least the next ten days. So if you need any odd jobs done around the house, there will be plenty of trades available.

April bid farewell with an uptick in sales, as both 30 Aireys Street and 3 Great Ocean Road found eager buyers amidst multiple offers, while 21 Gilbert Street delighted its vendors by securing a sale. The continued inquiries and property inspections suggest that prospective buyers are still around.

Considering listing your property in winter presents an intriguing proposition. Typically, the coastal real estate market experiences a surge in listings as spring unfolds, buoyed by the promise of favourable weather and the allure of the upcoming school holidays. The aim is to capitalize on increased exposure and the prospect of new homeowners settling in before the festive season. However, this year deviated from the expected pattern, with the anticipated surge failing to materialize, largely due to the factors we have seen extensively covered in the media.

Presently, Aireys Inlet finds itself with a remarkably low inventory, boasting only four houses publicly for sale. This notable decrease in available homes, coupled with the ongoing presence of buyers, begs the question: Would it be advantageous to introduce your property to the market now?
