Clockwise visits today – no substitute for foot leather, listening, looking and listening again.
1st Slide
Clockwise from top left: Malvern East:$2.5m? – little cutie – no, not the agent John Manton – the house. Good crowds at the OFI.
Hawthorn: $4m? Off -Market or Pre-Market? – good family home. Crowds – Only one!
Armadale: $4m? Nice one – listening [...]
Welcome to our 2016 Bumper Christmas Edition.
In this, our last article for 2016 – the key to good sex, nothing about that American bloke and a segment on how to get $70,000 for free every year.
Plenty of positives, but apologies we don’t seem to have any fake news!
And to the Inner Melbourne Market.
Wow, what a finish [...]
Big day today for auctions and, despite the fact that this year we are dealing in more properties away from auction than at auction – as a company we were involved in nine today – I’m zonked.
We could not cover as wide a cross section of auctions (only 20) as it was all hands on [...]
Its 6.00pm Saturday and the James Clearance rate for $M+ Inner Melbourne is 88% on the 26 Auctions we covered today.
James Bidderman, that is, bidders per auction, is 2.8.
Super Strong.
Big numbers of bought befores and look at the Volcanoes 48%. That means every second auction had 4 or more bidders and how about this; there were 15 bidders [...]
Its 6.00pm Saturday and the James Clearance rate for $M+ Inner Melbourne was 74% on the 31 Auctions we covered today – the same as last week. James Bidderman, that is bidders per auction, was 2.2 bidders per auction – the same as last week.
Two things we saw today
1. Some huge Powerlifting of prices at post auction pass-ins – [...]
Its 6.00pm Saturday and the James Clearance rate for $M+ Inner Melbourne was 74% on the 23 Auctions we covered today – solid.
James Bidderman, that is bidders per auction, was 2.3 bidders per auction – also a solid number.
Interesting to note the spread across the board, at the Top End, was fairly even between ducks/lone rangers, norms and [...]
Rock solid… Prices have flattened out over the past 12 months, which means buyers and sellers have a stable environment to transact at the moment. Tim Heavyside
I reckon the market is patchy. There is a nervousness about it. A bit like the start of a marathon race. Buyers are lining up ready to go but are [...]
Its 6.00pm Saturday and the James Clearance rate for $M+ Inner Melbourne was a very solid 83% on the 29 Auctions we bid at or reported on today.
James Bidderman, that is bidders per auction, was a little light on compared to recent weeks at 2.1 bidders per auction and there were a large number of bought before [...]
At 6.00pm Saturday, the James Million $+ Inner Melbourne Clearance rate was 85% – with a noticeable difference of more pass-ins and bought after’s.
It’s safe to say, that in some cases, these were strategic pass-ins to a bidder which agents had singled out for special treatment.
We say that, because Bidderman was still a healthy 2.55 [...]
At 6pm the James $M+ Auction Clearance Rate was 83% on the 29 auctions we reported and bid on today.
James Bidderman continues to be very strong at 2.8 bidders per auction. The homes today seemed to be either bought before or under the hammer with volcanic bidding (4+ bidders).
In fact just on 50% of the auctions we reported [...]
What is starting to interest us, is the real change in what young people are looking for.
Young people are The New Downsizers – even before they’ve upsized.
Young people are the new downsizers in expectations, in mortgage commitments – $2m or $3m mortgages for many, are neither desirable nor manageable.
Many in the younger generation want to travel, [...]
At 6.00 pm today the Melbourne market of late Winter has made a strong statement, with a James $M+ Clearance Rate of 88% and Bidderman a whopping 3 bidders per auction on the 25 auctions, we bid at or reported on today.
The Inner market has started out of the blocks in a hurry – based in part, on [...]
Hello and welcome back to James Buyer Advocates Marketnews.
A few auctions of note today on very small numbers as the market awakes from its traditional Winter auction slumber. We have covered 19 in our reporting; Bidderman was 2.4 bidders per auction and the $M+ James Clearance rate was 74% – even though a small sample, we think it’s an [...]
So at 6.00 pm the James Buyer Advocates Clearance Rate was 83% and James Bidderman was 2.5 bidders per auction on the 24 auctions we covered today. Mmmmm on the face of it very strong and it is; BUT……………..
Markets, markets, markets.
During the week, before getting crunched at today’s 507 Royal Parade Parkville auction, Craig Shearn [...]
The overall market felt stronger today, at the end of May, than it did at the start.
We felt the market was drifting at the start and in the middle of May, but today the market was clear – price direction was strong.
Bidderman depth on the 26 A and B grade auctions we covered today was [...]
