Properties in the middle to outer ring suburbs of Australia’s biggest cities are practically ‘walking out of the door’ as soon as they’re listed, according to new statistics from CoreLogic RP Data.

Sydney’s Jannali, located 20 km from the CBD, is leading the pack with units spending just 13 days on the market before they are sold.

The strong demand from buyers resulted in a surge in value during the past 12 months. Median unit values jumped 16% to $545,000.

Meanwhile, the Perth suburb Coolbellup defied the downturn in the city and attracted strong buyers’ interest during the same period. Units are sold within 16 days of being listed on average.

This solid demand helped push the median unit values by 8% to $350,000 during the year to March 2015.

The Melbourne suburb Scoresby also made the list. Houses in this area are sold within 18 days, lifting median values by 12%.
