James Private Client Briefings contain far greater and more client-specific detail than what you see below and are available for full service James Search and Negotiate clients throughout Melbourne.
Contact us: For a private, confidential and no obligation discussion on what is really happening in your street, precinct and suburb from a buyer’s perspective, contact Architect Adam on 0413 318 079 or Gina on (+613) 9804 3133 or 0457 835 255 or Mal on 0408 107 988 from James Buyer Advocates.
Alternatively if you see us at an open for inspection or an auction please feel free to come over and say hello – perhaps we could send you a buyer rating, a result or simply open diaries and work out a time to sit down and talk about the market, values, negotiation, alternative homes or your needs from a buyer’s perspective.
For the record each of us is involved in 2 to 3 homes, around 20 inspections and attending/assisting/bidding on up to 4 auctions on a weekly basis – all in that specialist $M+ price range.

HAWTHORN, 67 Urquhart St | Antony Woodley (Marshall White)
Passed In: Bought range: $1,903,615 - $2,094,175 - 4 Bidders (Photo: Kate Agnoleto)
Bidderbuzz Auction
"A crowd of 80 filled the property’s backyard and chatted loudly as they waited for the auction to get under-way. Auctioneer Antony Woodley had a commanding presence as he engaged the assembled group. Proceedings were opened with a vendor bid of $1,750,000 and Mr Woodley looked for rises of $25,000. It was not too long before three bidders were vying for the property. Bidding was considered and further encouraged by Mr Woodley. In the final moments of the auction, the property was passed in to a fourth bidder at $1,915,000. " (Kate Agnoleto)
Biggest Sale: CANTERBURY, 98-100 Mont Albert Rd
Alastair Craig (Jellis Craig); Under Hammer, $3,380,000 - 6 Bidders "There was a real buzz before the start of this auction and the team at Jellis Craig knew it as well, as I counted at least six agents all coming along to support auctioneer Alastair Craig. The crowd size was decent too with around 70 crowding around the kitchen and family room. There was no need for a vendor bid as a confident opening bid of $2,600,000 was made and the auction was off and running. The bids came from all around the room and at times it was hard to see who was bidding because of the tightly packed crowd. But this did not impede on the flow of the auction and once Mr Craig flicked the switch and declared the property on the market a roar came from the crowd. The increased chatter and activity brought a tingle to the spine as the bidders knew things were serious and the auction moved up a gear. Six bidders were now fighting it out each trying to outfox each other with small bids and big knockout bids; in fact all manner of tactics were brought to the table. But amongst the storm and flurry the original bidder stood firm swatting back every threat and finally emerged victorious in the end. A terrific auction and the crowd agreed who all clapped loudly and congratulated the winning bidder." (Joshua Bong)
Biggest Pass In: HAWTHORN, 21 Wattle Rd
Scott Patterson (Kay & Burton); Passed In: $3,050,000 - 0 Bidders "This lovely Victorian home failed to attract a single bid at auction on Saturday, according to auctioneer Scott Patterson. A vendor bid of $3,050,000 opened proceedings but with no further action on the day, the home was passed in at this amount. *Our reporter missed this auction but Mr Patterson was kind enough to provide the details after the event." (Mal James)
