There were over 20 auctions on in Bayside again this weekend. But even while other areas of Melbourne continued to see strong clearance rates (Boroondara 77% for February 23 and March 2; and Stonnington 78% and 85% respectively), Bayside clearance rates on March 2 were down considerably on the previous weekend. Only 44% of the [...]

There is a good feel to the market right now. Buyers are positive and vendors also seem to be on board and prepared to meet the market. Along with this, the media is mainly positive about the market, which always helps. I must say some properties that I felt would struggle (e.g. those with compromised [...]

This week, buyers and sellers alike have been eager to see whether the market would back up last week’s clearance rates. Nine fewer homes were up for auction this weekend, but that’s still 20 auctions over $1,000,000. Some of these were bigger properties that have been on the market for over 12 months – [...]

Welcome to the first Bayside market wrap for 2013.
From what I’ve seen so far this year there seems to be a positive vibe in the air – agents are optimistic, buyers more plentiful and we are starting to see some good new stock hit the market. For families this means some good choices emerging [...]

This week in Bayside there was action in terms of sales, although open numbers still seemed mediocre. Crowd numbers at auctions today were average, but bidder numbers seemed consistently stronger – in particular at land value auction sales:
37 Margarita St Hampton (Frank Hellier) had 5 bidders
101 Dendy St Brighton (Halli Moore and David Hart) had [...]

This week Bayside performed admirably with a 68% clearance rate and 1.5 bidderman – figures similar to the overall $M market. 5 out of the 8 auctions we reported on sold today. There are fewer auctions next week but steady increases in auction numbers for the early weeks of December.
A land value sale of note [...]

This week was a quiet one in Bayside with low numbers at Opens and even a few agents taking a day off to attend the races. But the hard work had already been done as good new stock levels appeared.
The clearance rate was 64% on a total of 12 auctions. Next week there will be [...]

This week was all about Super Saturday in Stonnington. But the action actually started after last Saturday’s auctions and the momentum built throughout the week. The clearance rate was 61% today. Of the 12 auctions we reported on, only 2 sold under the hammer. 2 sold after and 3 sold before.
My day today started very [...]

It attracts more anticipation than a Grand Final, and a bigger array of stars than the Cup Carnival. And the results are more telling than the Bathurst 500: that’s what Super Saturday, October 27th represents to the largest array of buyers and sellers on offer this year.
This coming weekend was always [...]

This week we saw an increase in our enquiry levels and as the week progressed, we also noticed an increase in mid-week transaction levels. This was after weeks of solid crowd numbers at auctions.
Of particular note was the fact that three properties were sold in as many days by the Buxton group (see our Market [...]

Key Points:
Clearance Rate for quality homes was stronger than our stats show today
If you went to auction in Brighton, Brighton East or Hampton today you had a good chance of selling with clearance rates 81% (13 from 16). Further down the bay like Sandringham and Beaumaris really struggled.

At 6pm on Saturday, the James Clearance Rate on the 31 auctions we covered was 58%.
Bidderman, our demand indicator of average bidders per auction, had a small rise to 1.6 bidders per auction, in part due to four volcanoes (strong auctions) including one 7 bidder auction in 28 Barrington St Kew.
These figures indicate that the [...]

The inner suburbs of Bayside, such as Elwood, Albert Park and Port Melbourne, are great places to live when you are footloose and child-free. But what if you’ve got plans to have kids down the track?
Being able to walk to the local Turtle cafe in Elwood and take a short tram ride on No 79 through [...]
