The standout property for me was 250 Kooyong Road Toorak. Designed 30 years ago by architect Kevin Borland, this two level town house offers an excellent opportunity to enter the Toorak market. You would have to look a long time to find a property at this price level with land content of 436m2 in Toorak. The property is liveable in its current format; however you have an opportunity to improve its floor plan flexibility with some well placed renovations. Issues to some may be noise from the train and freeway in the valley below. The agent handling the property is Melanie Shaw of R.T.Edgar.

Of the auctions I attended on the weekend the most interesting one was the sale of 62 Addison Street in Elwood. A property being sold by Alex Schiavo of Kay and Burton and Darren Krongold of Gary Peer. I have been following the campaign closely as the property was well positioned in the heart of Elwood with good land content and an interesting early 1970s home. The home lacked a bedroom and there were some minor issues with the kitchen and layout, no real deal breakers.

The agents were consistent throughout the campaign suggesting that interest was strong at a level in excess of $2m. On auction day the large crowd including myself expected the hammer to fall somewhere north of $2m. A vendor bid opened the auction at $1.950m more than a reasonable start, followed by a bid at $1.960m. No further bids were made and the property was passed in. What is happening.

This is when all the action started, as you reportedly had three groups who stayed back after the auction all wanting to negotiate with the agents to buy the property. However as the law states the highest bidder was first offered to purchase the property at the vendor’s reserve. In light of the waiting competition the original party agreed on the reserve price and the deal was done, reportedly between $2.2m and $2.3m.

Who knows what might have happened if all interested groups had entered the bidding process during the auction. The eventual owner may have been very different.
