My Week: An interesting week for me visiting homes in Brighton, Caulfield, McKinnon, Elsternwick, Elwood, Middle Park, Albert Park, Toorak, Clifton Hill, Abbotsford, Collingwood, South Yarra and Prahran- the life a traveling investment property negotiator.
The standout property for me was 250 Kooyong Road Toorak. Designed 30 years ago by architect Kevin Borland, this two level [...]

The Block was great entertainment – but for me it was also the best reality TV show in a decade because it showed the harsh reality of what happens when you break all the rules in the property investment book.
I took the opportunity to go through each property a few weeks before the auctions and [...]

At 6pm on Saturday, the James Clearance Rate for $M+ properties in Melbourne was 55% on the 29 auctions we attended. We covered around half the $M+ auctions this weekend. May is looking very lean for auctions and today was almost a non event auction wise

Key Points:
A lot on offer in Stonnington today with 42 auctions monitored over a $m with 22 homes over a million bought.
Although there was a lot on offer – it was a mixed bag quality wise.
If there is such a thing the good home clearance rate index would have shown a better result than the [...]

Key Points:
There is not a lot of new stock on offer due to Grand Prix interruptions and now we have Easter approaching so lean times for new offerings.
Nothing approaching or over $2m reported as bought in the last week.
Damian O’Sullivan, Marshall White, Albert Park: “We feel the market is very balanced at the moment as [...]

Key Points:
Stock is now starting to dry up as Easter interrupts the market and with the vibe dropping since Labour Day we may well see limited stock in the discretionary upper end market coming on Post Easter. 19 Huntingfield Toorak (Justin Long) was a classic example of a limited offering that captured the markets’ attention [...]
