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 orGina 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.
HAMPTON, 10 Mills St | Rowan Thompson (RT Edgar) Under Hammer: $1,325,000 - 5 Bidders (Photo: David James)
Bidderbuzz Auction "A nice wide, quiet street, an old property on a big block within 100 metres of Hampton Street shops - what an opportunity! Auctioneer Rowan Thompson thought so too and so did the five bidders who were all anxious to buy this interesting property.
Lively bidding became frantic as the auction progressed. The "on market" level of $1,200,000 was soon reached and it was obvious that three parties were particularly keen. The auctioneer would have accepted well over 50 bids in total, many down to only $1,000 at a time. He was really busy!
The property was finally knocked down for $1,325,000. A good result." (David James)
Biggest Sale: ST KILDA WEST, 229 Canterbury Rd Claudio Perruzza (Biggin & Scott); After Auction, $1,785,000 - 2 Bidders "As a result of the heavy rain, auctioneer Claudio Perruzza called the small crowd into the dry confines of this impressive two storey Victorian terrace in the heart of West St Kilda. After asking for bids from the crowd, Claudio suggested that perhaps some background music might be appropriate to help bidders gather strength. The music didn’t come and Claudio was quick to bid $1,700,000 on behalf of the vendor. Two bidders were starting to see value in the property and were bidding freely, taking the price quickly to $1,765,000 before half time was called. On return no further bids were made and the property was passed in. Bought after for $1,785,000." (Guy Angwin)
Biggest Pass In: BRIGHTON, 2 Snooks Ct Leigh Hallamore (Buxton); Passed In: $3,000,000 - 0 Bidders "Over 50 squares of living, a theatre, gym, cellar - plus an office and a 15 metre pool. And the billliard room wasn't bad either! Yet in spite of all these goodies and even in this special Brighton location, auctioneer Leigh Hallamore just could not attract a single bid. It sure makes you wonder what people really want doesn't it! Passed in on a second vendor bid of $3,000,000." (David James)
