Two similar properties went up for auction this week with two very different outcomes.
The first was 12 Crimea Street, St Kilda – a grand two-storey Victorian terrace on 611 sqm of land, managed by Simon Gowling of Marshall White, quoting $2.5m plus. The property had been renovated some time ago and was liveable in its [...]

After the hype of ‘Super Saturday’, stock supply returned this weekend to the kind of levels we have been seeing over the last 18 months, and the James Clearance Rate of 50% for Port Phillip was not what agents would have hoped for. On reflection, Super Saturday was real estate’s equivalent of the Melbourne Cup, [...]

With what was described as the biggest auction weekend in nearly two years, agents were certainly on tenterhooks as to what Saturday would bring. Their fears turned to relief and perhaps even delight, as Greg Hocking from Greg Hocking Holdsworth, David Wood from Hocking Stuart and Kaine Lanyon from Marshall White all reported strong results.

This week in Port Phillip two very different properties got the heart fluttering – the first was an old bakery at 201 Liardet Street in Port Melbourne a property managed by Oliver Bruce of Marshall White which over the last two weeks has seen record numbers attend opens.
The second was 71 and 71 A Grey [...]

This weekend in Port Phillip we saw limited properties on offer, much of which wasn’t quite A grade. While there was reasonable bidding at two of the auctions I covered, there were no volcanoes and two properties were passed in.
History would suggest that those that passed in will sell within the month [...]

We’re seeing something of a mini burst of activity in Port Phillip, with 12 auctions this weekend and sixteen next week – all over the $1 million mark. These are solid properties without being spectacular and are mostly in the range of $1m to $1.3m.
After that, the market takes a breather as the Grand Final [...]

Of the four auctions I attended in Port Phillip, only one sold under the hammer: 108a Addison Street Elwood. This was a cracker auction, with four bidders all going hell for leather trying to bluff the other bidders out of the process with strong bids. Well done to Matthew Morley of Morley Real Estate for [...]

This weekend, the clearance rate for the eight properties up for auction in Port Phillip over one million dollars was 83% – solid.
Amongst the most interesting auctions this weekend was a basic knock-downable Victorian(STCA) at 48 Kerferd Road Albert Park, sold by John Holdsworth of Greg Hocking Real Estate for $1,205,000, or a respectable $5,355 [...]

With such limited stock up for auction in Port Phillip this week and what there was, not actually selling – I have listed some of the more interesting properties that are currently up for private sale. All these properties have previously failed to sell at auction and are either still with the [...]

The two key properties of the 8 $million plus properties up for auction this weekend in Port Phillip were:
18 Faussett Street, Albert Park, which we had rated well at 673. This Hocking Stuart property, managed by Michael Coen, was a goodie, having been recently renovated to a high standard, with off-street car parking and only [...]

One of the properties that sold was a rare vacant block of land, measuring 391 sq metres in Albert Park at 17 Hambleton Street. It was auctioned by [...]

Vendors – where are you all? With only two properties listed for auction over $1m in Port Phillip this weekend, there was very little to choose from.
According to Alex Schiavo of Kay and Burton Real Estate, we would normally have more stock this time of the year, “but for some reason clients are delaying putting [...]

In Port Phillip, auctions have slowed to a drizzle this month and agents have been a little glum as they batten down the hatches until stock levels improve in Spring. John Holdsworth of Greg Hocking Real Estate has indicated there will be an improvement in stock levels come September, however he also feels numbers will [...]
