Are you serious councillors, or is this a misprint in The Age (Adam Carey Nov 14)
“Boroondara (all 11 councillors) said it opposed the government’s decision to give residents the freedom to build secondary homes – or granny flats – on their properties without a planning permit, raising concerns about neighbourhood character, amenity and car parking.”
Market in a Minute: Spring M32023: Melbourne’s $2m+ housing market sees decreased auction transparency with only 20% selling under the hammer. Prices slightly retreat, particularly for B and C graders. Inner East remains a hotspot due to Aussie Asian demand, while Bayside and Stonnington face challenges. Market unpredictability is evident as buyer urgency has left all but the Inner East.
Mal, what do you mean Volatile market?
You know that fiery girlfriend or boyfriend you are showing up for and you don’t know whether it’s going to be a great date or a disaster – that’s a volatile market.
It’s a risk. Do you go to the party, risk a public flop but increase your chances of getting lucky or do you stay home and text where it’s safe, but not much can happen – that’s a volatile strategy choice – auction or sit tight.
Every Monday, keep up to date on Top End News from Hawthorn to Toorak to Brighton to Albert Park and all of Top End Melbourne.
“Mal, what’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with my agent?
What’s wrong with my property as a seller?
Why am I always missing out as a buyer?
Buy Sell works. Late last year, our clients approached us, expressing their desire to discontinue a renovation project. Despite their home being halfway demolished since purchase two years prior, we managed to sell it for more than we initially paid, when we bought it for them. Simultaneously, we facilitated the purchase of a move-in ready property with potential for improvement or the option to retain its current state, all while putting money back into their pockets.
At the Top End we continue to feel positive about where the market could be going, after the conclusion of our 3rd and final week of the 100 Auction Test (2024M1 – Opening).
Overall, the market eased upwards during February buts really its line ball – on the edge – results are patchy and volatile, and the market is still punishing mistakes.
The good news is the Bidderman freefall of 2023M4 – Pre Xmas has been arrested.

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.
