A quieter (and wetter!) day in the Boroondara $1m+ auction streets today. Pass-ins (and waiting around) seemed to be the order of the day, and one needed to have an umbrella handy.
Solid results were -
19 Florence Avenue, Kew (Diana Healy, Jellis Craig) – selling over $3.6m. This was a quality new home in good location – ‘A’ graders continue to perform well, and this property is testament to that.
2 Monomeath Place Canterbury (Richard Earle, Jellis Craig) – A-grade package selling over $3.1m – one bidder.
93 Liddiard Street, Hawthorn (Lachie Fraser-Smith, BenMac) – selling under the hammer for $1,807,000 – 3 bidders. Renovated doubled fronted Victorian over a single level with prized northern backyard - yes it is located on a busy street but discrete rear access did compensate for that somewhat.
These properties do represent an exception to the rule however as there were plenty of pass-ins, and many properties remain on the market as we speak. Of the 33 properties scheduled for auctions yesterday over $1m, about 60% of these passed in and 16 remain for sale as we speak. You can add of course a handful that were not reported. Still a buyers market? We would think so.
Design Smart, Adam
