Clayton homes for sale

What kind of homes are in Clayton?

Townhouses lead the market in Clayton, at 42% of active listings. That is the ground-oriented middle: more room than an apartment, less upkeep than a house.

The next largest group is detached houses, at 30% of what is listed.

The stock is of one era: the typical home for sale was built in 2009, and nearly all of it went up between 1999 and 2023.

16% of the current listings were built in the last five years, so new-construction inventory is a real option here rather than an exception.

What do you actually get for the money?

The 3-bedroom plan is the most common listing, with smaller and larger homes on either side of it.

A typical listing here offers about 1,533 sq ft of living space and 3 bathrooms.

32% of the listings report a finished basement, which in this city usually means either extra family space or a mortgage helper.

Enclosed parking is standard: 88% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?

66% of the active listings are strata-titled and the rest are freehold, so the ownership question is a live one in Clayton rather than settled by the neighbourhood.

Across the 88 listings that disclose one, the median strata fee is $373 per month. Read it against what it covers before comparing two buildings on price alone.

Getting around Clayton

There is no rapid-transit station in Clayton, but 77% of the listings are within reach of a frequent bus route.

Across 131 scored listings the median walk score is 55 out of 100, computed from real walking routes. Day-to-day errands here usually involve a drive or a bus.

Cycling scores better than walking in a lot of the city, and it does here too: the median bike score across scored listings is 81.

Setting and surroundings

A view is claimed on 20% of the listings. Views are priced aggressively and are the first thing a new tower can take away, so it is worth checking what protects one before you pay for it.
