MARKET NEWS || Some Fight in the East

It doesn’t really show in the overall figures, but the market is feeling a tad warmer, with action picking up back in the east. Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Canterbury, and Glen Iris—that is, Boroondara—have been heating up these past few weeks, and today it was back with a vengeance. The market was hot—not quite on fire, but drying out after a wet season, seemingly back in bloom and firing on almost all cylinders.

AUCTION TEST || Our 100 Auction Test for the Christmas market starts this Saturday.

How many bidders will there be? How many volcanoes of four or more bidders will we see? And how many Duck auctions (zero bidders)?

Which way is the market heading at the end of 2024?

#jamesbuysell #melbournerealestate #buyeradvocate #vendoradvocate #luxuryrealestate

OFF MARKET || Duck Test There are many homes that

OFF MARKET || Duck Test

There are many homes that are said to be off-market or pre-market homes that are not really for sale.
Why? The seller is testing the market. The agent is testing the market. The agent has no work. The seller wants a free valuation or some company.

For a home to be really for sale off-market, it needs to pass the Four Duck Test.
1. Agent authority
2. Contract of sale
3. Asking price
4. Access to view the home

Curious about navigating the complexities of an off market properties? Our buyer advocacy service can help you cut through the noise and find genuine off-market homes, making your property search smoother and more rewarding

A chance encounter turned into a winning strategy. M&R came to us through marketnews.com.au, and despite a tough Boroondara market, our off-market approach and collaboration with Annabelle Feng from RT Edgar led to success. One bid, six weeks, and a lot of teamwork. Cheers to smart strategies and great partnerships.

Our clients came to us in a buy-sell situation a few months ago. They were not referred, we hadn’t met them before, and they were readers of marketnews.com.au

We ran what was ultimately a six-week off-market, one-bid campaign. That was done through an excellent collaboration on strategy between Annabelle, our smart clients (M&R), and ourselves at James Buy Sell.

100 AUCTION TEST || What’s happening in the Mark

AUCTION TEST || M3 Results Spring has sprung, but

AUCTION TEST || M3 Results

Spring has sprung, but the market… well, it’s still falling. The Inner East has lost its crown, with Bayside & Port Phillip holding steady but quiet. Meanwhile, Stonnington’s holding the top spot – but it’s still a bit hit-and-miss.

As we’ve seen before, the longer spring goes, the weaker it gets. And if you’re wondering what moves a home today? It’s all about price. Overpriced? It sits. Priced just right? It flies.

It was heritage then renovation, now it’s price that scares.

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.

Navad is an 8-year-old boy from Kasulu, Kigoma. He sustained injuries after a motorcycle accident with his mother when he was only 15 months old. His mother lost consciousness, and Navad was severely injured. After regaining consciousness, they were supposed to go to a hospital, but they were unable to do so. Navad stayed home with his mother for six years without receiving any medical care until he was found in July 2023, still crawling. He underwent surgery on both legs, though one leg healed well while the other didn’t. We can learn off Navad and I have.
