## Resource

We talk with Andrew MacMillan from Foundit about Domain’s latest figures showing 15 Australian suburbs have fallen below their $1 million, $2 million or $3 million median-price thresholds. Brighton in Melbourne is a good example of how the median house price dropped 6.6% to $2.915 million. Buyers are still active, but they’re researching carefully and resisting pressure to overpay, knowing they have more time and choice.
