Advice Given (Winter Stories)
CEO Simone Clarke out today with Zali Reynolds at a James Buy Sell Multi-agent off market in Glen Iris. Good numbers through this home so far on the back of a great result Simone managed (multi-agent, off market) at Bella Vista Glen Iris in late June.
Mostly Positive
We ended this week with three buy-sell transactions, exceeding $20 million in total. Notably, two of these were off-market deals, and all three involved multiple agents, with two in Kew and one in Toorak. As we head into the mid-year break, this week stands out as a positive period in both the calendar and financial year.

The market is experiencing consistent growth across all sectors, although not always apparent or uniform. Nevertheless, prices are on the rise.
