Today the Auctions around Glen Eira were a mix of pleasure and pain.
Yes, prices continued in the million dollar mark. But more then a few homes passed in without a shot.
Does this say the market is slowing or does this say vendors need to be pegged down?

Other properties bought in Glen Eira of Interest

  • 13 Reserve Av CARNEGIE (Gary Walton of Hocking Stuart) $1,400,000
  • 3 BrackenRd SOUTH  (Eyal Malka Gary Peer) bought for $1,250,000
  • 14 Long St Elsternwick (Leonard Persichetti of TBM) which almost cracked the magic $2 million mark last Sunday at $1,950,000

Buying your dream home contains lots of emotion, confusion and tactics.
To see an under-bidder today in tears shows how tough the market is mentally and emotionally. It affected me.
You just need to pick yourself up and move on to the next property.
