What Happens When Properties Sell Fast?
One of the strongest indicators of buyer demand is Days on Market (DOM) - the average number of days it takes for a property to sell.
We analysed suburbs where houses have consistently sold very quickly over the past 18 months, with current average selling times under 50 days and generally remaining below 100 days throughout the period.
The result?
Strong buyer demand has translated into exceptional capital growth across almost every suburb we analysed.
Here are some standout performers:

The takeaway?
Suburbs with consistently low Days on Market often indicate strong demand, limited supply, and increasing competition amongst buyers - all factors that can contribute to future capital growth.
While past performance is never a guarantee of future results, monitoring Days on Market trends can help investors identify emerging opportunities before they become widely recognised.
At PropertyDirector, our advanced analytics platform helps investors uncover these trends quickly and identify suburbs with strong growth potential.
