20 points. That's how far this suburb's R-score dropped in a single month. Ainsbury, 44 kilometres west of the Melbourne CBD, was a 96th percentile performer in May. By June it was 76th. Anna sent us one word, Ainsbury, so here's the data. What broke, why the sales market has frozen, and whether this is a buying opportunity or a warning. Roadmap, five things. The R-score collapse. I'll show you the chart. Price and velocity, why asking prices have been cut and homes sit for 253 days. The sales freeze, zero house sales for three months. What's still working, because there are genuine strengths here, and the verdict, stay for the verdict. This suburb is a canary for the outer Melbourne market. Ainsbury, 44 kilometres west of Melbourne in the city of Melton, a designated growth corridor. Neighbours, Melton South, Brookfield, Exford. The anchor is the Township Centre, golf course, primary school, general store, no rail station. Nearest is Melton Station, eight kilometres north. The Western Freeway gets you to the CBD in about 50 minutes. Census, 882 dwellings. GNAF address data suggests it's already over 2,100. This is a master plan community being built in real time. The R-score, our composite momentum model, supply, demand, yield, short-term price signals into one number. Ainsbury's chart is striking. For three years, it ran between the 89th and 97th percentile. June 2025, 89th September, 96th December, 95th March, 2026, 95th April, 97th May, 96th then June, 76th, a 20 point collapse in 30 days. The largest single month drop in Ainsbury's history. Something changed. The price data, and this needs the honest version. The headline median says $729,000, but that's based on zero sales in April, May and June. It's a stale carry forward from one sale in March. The two months with real volume, November at $690,000 with 12 sales and February at $725,000 with 12. Honest range, $690,000 to $730,000. But the signal is in the asking prices, peaked at $754,000 in December. By June, $695,000. That's a $59,000 cut, 8% in three months. Vendors are chasing the market down. Velocity. Days on market, 253 days. A year ago, 28 days. That's nine times longer to sell a house and DOM data stops at February. We've had three months of zero sales since. The real figure is worse. Meanwhile, vacancy, 0.32%. Extremely tight. Rental market is on fire. The sales market has seized up. This is not a suburb where people are leaving. It's a suburb where nobody is transacting. Hold that. Zero house sales, April, May, June, 2026. Not low, zero. For over 2,000 address points, that's extraordinary. The stock on market is 86 listings, 63 houses. In a suburb of 882 census dwellings, that's roughly 10% of stock listed. The AI snapshot flagged days of supply up 37.6%. Buyers have stepped back from the entire outer Melbourne master planned estate segment. Aynsbury is just the clearest signal. What's still working? Aynsbury is 83% owner occupied, the highest in Melton LGA, only 9% investor owned. Public housing, zero. Rental vacancy at 0.32% means tenant risk is practically non-existent. SEIFA, Decile, 10 across all four dimensions, top 10% nationally. These are not weak fundamentals. This is a quality community that has hit a sales wall. Quick pause. This framework, supply, demand, yield, momentum, is the same screen we run across every Australian suburb. Five elements, employment, price trend, lifestyle, population, minus supply risk. Aynsbury's model is red on momentum and amber o
