Inner city Richmond shines as Victoria’s most searched suburb for property

The Melbourne suburb of Richmond is proving to be a top choice for prospective home buyers with the latest property data showing it is the most searched suburb in Victoria.
The latest figures from property experts InfoTrack reveal the multicultural suburb just three kilometres east of the Melbourne CBD, had the highest number of suburb searches ordered of any Victorian location on the InfoTrackGO site from January to July this year.

InfoTrackGO spokesperson Sandra Falzon said Richmond is a highly desirable and vibrant location.
“The InfoTrackGO site allows prospective buyers to instantly do their research on specific properties by ordering Title searches, plans or valuation reports for properties they’re looking to buy,” Ms Falzon said.

“It means buyers are better informed about the properties they’re interested in and can quickly identify if there are any approved developments in the area, if the property is in a flood zone, or on contaminated land, and if renovation plans would be possible, all things that affect buying decisions.”

With the Spring bumper selling season on the horizon, more and more Australians are putting extensive time into research so they can move quickly when it comes time to putting in an offer.

Richmond took out the top spot in The Garden State, followed by Southbank, Truganina, South Yarra, and Wodonga.
