Asking-price cuts

Cuts in the last 30 days to listings the Shorted crawl has seen in the last 14 days, across 2 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 24 Sep 2026; newest crawl observation 14 Sep 2026.

These figures have not been updated for more than three days. Every “last 30 days” count in this section runs to 14 Sep 2026, not to today, while the listing crawl is interrupted.
