Asking-price cuts

Cuts in the last 30 days to listings the Shorted crawl has seen in the last 14 days, across 6 suburbs of this council. An aggregate only: published at 3 or more cut listings council-wide (cuts in every crawled suburb count), and a suburb is named only when it has 3 of its own. Computed 9 Nov 2026; newest crawl observation 2 Nov 2026.

These figures have not been updated for more than three days. Every “last 30 days” count in this section runs to 2 Nov 2026, not to today, while the listing crawl is interrupted.
