In fact same clients we acted for on another $4m+ profit Toorak home previously. That’s a +20% uplift as the Toorak market dropped 10%.
The Boroondara hotspot has rippled through to Stonnington – and make no mistake this is a market change – this is a Mexican of some note. Sure, we are not out the woods, but bidders are cutting swathes through the forests of negativity to lights on the horizon.
