Because the job people pay me for is the 3 O’s:
• Opinions
• Options
• And ultimately… Outcomes
And while people want more, it’s not more opinions, or even more options.
It’s more outcome.

YES. But Mal my house didn’t sell or hasn’t attracted any interest and yet you said the market is a lot better!

That’s correct my friend. Look at the graphic above. We are just turning a corner and those that are selling are at market not 10 to 20% above market. We are nowhere near 2021 yt!, but we are seemingly chortling back in that direction!

Volatility Confirms the Turn?

Have I gone too early?

Looking at today’s results, that’s a fair question to ask. Clearances (61%), Bidderman (1.5) — back into the no so brilliant range on the 33 auctions we covered today.

I’m 64 years of age, and for many years I had negative views about women without really understanding why or knowing it.

I was educated in a government primary school system where I often got the strap and cane for my indiscretions, such as talking when I shouldn’t have, etc. I went to an all-boys grammar school where girls were, well, girls were objects with whom I only had fleeting connections.


My home life was caring, but every issue that displeased my father was resolved in his favour by some telling, and if that didn’t work, then a smack or many, depending on his assessment of my need to be rehabilitated. He was an only child, brought up by two only children who were literally from the English Victorian era. I loved my mother unconditionally and my father most of the time.


I have a wonderful life, feel really privileged, and overall have no complaints about my lot at all; in fact, the opposite. Not because everything has gone well, but because a lot has and what hasn’t, I have let go of (mostly 😩).

A Buy Sell for the Ages over $50m

Buying Your First or Next Home

I wrote for The Age and The Weekly Review for 4 years and this was a series in 2017 that got a lot of attention for first home buyers. It applies to all buyers in my opinion – the lessons are the same, just the numbers change.

Testimonials

Ali and Craig Tiley had relocated to Melbourne from the US and were unfamiliar with the local property market. They were looking for support to demystify the Australian way of buying and selling property which is very different to the US model they knew.

We developed a shortlist of potential homes and a buy recommendation. By encouraging them to look beyond initial impressions and consider the inherent value of the home they chose to purchase, Ali and Craig were able to buy into a premium Brighton location two minutes from the action.
