24 Glendearg Grove Malvern – James Buyer Advocates
Finished Article on 618sqm – Period Charm, New Build Muscle at 24 Glendearg Grove
24 Glendearg Grove is the podium finish many Malvern buyers are chasing but rarely find. On around 618sqm with a quote to $6.5m, it’s essentially a brand-new architect-designed family home wrapped in a period façade. From the street presence through to the back fence, it feels like the end point of a long project – not the start of one.
Inside, the floorplan just works – for kids, teens and extended family. Rooms are generous, circulation is logical and the living zones feel connected. The circular driveway is a real day-to-day win, with easy come-and-go parking, while the rear double garage is there for extra cars and storage (even if it’s a bit fiddly to access). Build quality and finishes are in that “bells and whistles” category – the sort of spec and execution you expect when agents like Carla are involved.
This is the kind of home where, if enough buyers agree it’s a genuine $6m-plus package, you’ll see strong competition. If you’re weighing up whether to join that contest – or want this rated against other Malvern/Armadale options – let’s walk it through before you bid.

- Click Address through to Completed James Home Rating
James Home Ratings is a 25 year old, patented, 1500 buy/sells plus 1,000-point scoring system based on the 3 critical drivers of long-term property value:
Three Pillar Value Drivers
- POSITION — “Where money is attracted to”
Street appeal, precinct, orientation, land size, walkability, school zones - PROPERTY — “Where money is spent”
Flow, floorplan, architecture, renovation quality, future potential - PRICE — “What the market rewards”
Relative value vs price paid, cycle timing, agent positioning
Why It Works – Patterns
Because real estate, at its core, is about human behaviour—and history repeats itself.
Each home is scored independently and consistently, based on how it aligns with long-term demand and supply fundamentals for it’s specific area property type—that way you can compare a block of land with an apartment in different areas with different budgets..
A, B, C-Grade – Know the Difference
- A-Grade: Always in demand. Rare, proven, and resilient through market shifts.
- B-Grade: Good, but situational. Can work well when bought or sold smartly.
- C-Grade: Riskier. More emotion-driven, often overhyped, and harder to recover value.
What Others Do | What We Do |

- 700 – Above Average: Strong fundamentals, few weaknesses
- 800+ – Exceptional: A-Grade, no obvious dealbreakers, rare and highly sought-after
Know the difference, know your grade before you pay the price buying or selling.
