Why Buy in Burwood
Located just 14 kilometres east of Melbourne’s CBD, Burwood offers a rare combination of suburban tranquillity and urban convenience that continues to attract families, professionals, and investors alike. The suburb sits within the City of Whitehorse and is well connected via the 75 tram line along Burwood Highway, multiple bus routes, and easy access to the Monash Freeway.
Burwood is home to Deakin University’s main campus, quality schools including Presbyterian Ladies’ College, and popular green spaces such as Wattle Park and Gardiners Creek Reserve. Shopping and dining options are plentiful, with Burwood One Shopping Centre, the Burwood Brickworks precinct, and vibrant strip shopping along Burwood Highway and Toorak Road.
The local property market features a diverse housing mix – from original 1950s and 1960s brick veneer homes through to contemporary townhouse and apartment developments. With a median house price around $1.5 million and auction clearance rates consistently above 80%, it remains a tightly held and highly competitive suburb where having professional buyer representation can make a significant difference.

Finding the Right Property
We lift the weight off your shoulders by meticulously crafting your property search strategy, engaging directly with local agents, and assessing both marketed and exclusive off-market properties. Our targeted approach ensures a streamlined search for your ideal property across the wider City of Whitehorse.
Perfecting the Approach

Steps
Full Breakdown
1. Initial Conversation
A casual, no obligation conversation about how we can assist you in your property journey.
2. Sign Our Agreement
Complete Our Agreement to formally start the process.
3. Design and Discuss A Strategy
We will have conversations on implementing a plan that will suit your requirements. We'll provide insight into local real estate agents and how each agency markets their properties differently. Some market aggressive auction prices, whereas some run accurate private sale quotes.
4. Campaign Communications
Regular updates via text and phone, including calls with important information and negotiation updates.
5. Property Tours
Physical inspection of properties, with options for private inspections or video tours if required. These properties will be sourced on and off the market through industry connections. We are the only independent buyer's agent that specialises in the East. This allows us to get great off-market deals through AI-targeted emails and relationships with agents we have built over years.
6. Individual Property Inspection
Organising a private inspection. This normally is a second inspection where we have more time and space to look at the property.
7. Complete Due Diligence
This part of the process is vital to ensure we avoid properties with problems or use them in our negotiation. This includes providing reports on surrounding plans & permits, government housing, zoning, etc. With the new suburban rail loop, due diligence and understanding of these impacts are crucial.
8. Start Negotiations or Bid at Auction
We will have a meeting before we start negotiations or participate in an auction. Implementing a strategy you feel comfortable with. High auction clearance rates mean you can get a competitive edge using a buyer's agency that has former auctioneers!
9. Purchase Property
We will handle post purchase details such as exchanging contracts, finalising deposit payments etc.
10. Final Inspection
Arrange and inspect the property with you at your final inspection before settlement. We will complete a checklist ensuring the property is in the best condition.
11. Settlement Day
Collect and deliver keys ensuring all terms are met reasonably.
Navigating the Burwood Property Market
The local property market is characterised by strong buyer demand, limited stock, and a fast-moving auction environment. Properties here typically spend less than 30 days on market, and auction clearance rates consistently sit above 80% – well above Melbourne’s broader average. This creates a highly competitive landscape where buyers who aren’t well-prepared can miss out or overpay.
Adding to the complexity is the growing number of off-market and pre-market sales in the area. Many of the suburb’s best properties never reach the open market, making access to a connected buyers agent essential. The housing mix – spanning original brick veneer homes, renovated period properties, and modern townhouse developments – means buyers need clear guidance on property selection, valuation, and negotiation strategy.
At Marsden Buyers Agents, we track the local market closely and leverage our network of real estate agents to ensure our clients are positioned to act early, bid with confidence, and secure the right property at the right price.

Burwood is one of Melbourne’s most sought-after eastern suburbs, located 14km east of the CBD within the City of Whitehorse. It offers excellent schools, including Presbyterian Ladies’ College, public transport via the 75 tram line, proximity to Deakin University, and popular green spaces like Wattle Park and Gardiners Creek Reserve. With a median house price of around $1.5 million and consistent capital growth, it attracts families, professionals, and investors.
Yes. We maintain strong relationships with selling agents across the City of Whitehorse, particularly those active along Burwood Highway and surrounding pockets. This gives our clients access to pre-market and off-market opportunities that never reach public portals, which is especially valuable in a tightly held suburb where quality listings move quickly.
Absolutely. The suburb offers strong investment fundamentals driven by Deakin University's main campus and the eastern suburbs employment corridor, which supports consistent rental demand. The mix of established homes, new townhouses, and apartments near Burwood Highway and the Burwood Brickworks precinct provides options across different price points and yield profiles.
Burwood is highly competitive. Auction clearance rates in the suburb regularly exceed 80%, properties average under 30 days on market, and the median house price sits around $1.5 million. New townhouse developments and the suburb’s proximity to Deakin University add further buyer competition, making professional representation a significant advantage.
Beyond Burwood, we assist buyers across neighbouring eastern suburbs, including Burwood East, Box Hill, Camberwell, Surrey Hills, Ashburton, Glen Iris, and Mont Albert. Our knowledge extends across both the City of Whitehorse and the City of Boroondara, giving us strong coverage of Melbourne’s inner east.
The local housing stock spans original 1950s and 1960s brick veneer homes on larger blocks, renovated period properties, and a growing number of modern townhouse and apartment developments — particularly near Deakin University and Burwood One Shopping Centre. This variety creates opportunities across a range of budgets, from sub-$900K units through to $2M+ family homes.
In Burwood’s fast-moving eastern suburbs market, properties regularly sell within weeks, and a growing share transact off-market through agent networks. Without established relationships with local selling agents in the Whitehorse area, buyers often miss the best opportunities. A buyer's agent handles sourcing, inspections, due diligence, and negotiation on your behalf - reducing risk and often securing a better outcome than going it alone.
