PropertyEye tracks live listings in Sydney and Brisbane today — Melbourne pages are built from published auction results (2021–2026), our price model and weekly clearance data. Live Melbourne tracking is on the roadmap.

Modelled from 169,861 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Melbourne cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty. Estimates from comparable auction results — not valuations or financial advice.

Crime — recorded criminal incidents, year ending March 2026
Index 98 — well above the Greater Melbourne average (50 = average) · 100.5 key incidents per 1,000 residents · year-on-year +10%
Most recorded: Steal from a retail store (156) · Steal from a motor vehicle (112) · Other theft (58)
Key offences: homicide, assault, sexual offences, robbery, property damage, burglary/break-and-enter, theft (CSA subdivisions A10/A20/A30/A70/B20/B30/B40). Rates are per RESIDENT — suburbs with heavy visitor/entertainment traffic (CBD, nightlife strips) read high on this basis.

Getting to the CBD — peak, from the suburb centre
About ~17 min door-to-CBD: 0 min walk to Balaclava (train) + ~4 min typical peak wait + 13 min scheduled ride.
PTV GTFS (metropolitan train + tram) (open data) — scheduled weekday services, rail family only (buses excluded); walk = suburb centre to nearest station, crow-flies ×1.3 at 80 m/min; wait = half AM-peak headway capped at 6 min; ride = median scheduled time to the CBD hub. Estimates for the suburb CENTRE — your block differs.
Stock history — homes listed for sale in Balaclava, archived Domain pages
Domain archive (monthly) 2016-08-06 → 2026-05-14 · 25 monthly points
25 monthly points from archived Domain search pages, 2016-08-06 → 2026-05-14 (Domain-only — systematically lower than the total market; archive coverage has gaps and they stay visible as gaps). Historical record, not a live count — live Melbourne tracking is on the roadmap.
Auction market pace — Melbourne weekly clearance
Benchmark series (Domain): week to 2026-09-26 — 52% of 179 reported auctions. Our own tracking (withdrawn counted): week to 2026-09-26 — 45% of 229 scheduled. Lower clearance generally means more room for buyers to negotiate.
