In fact, as recently as LAST WEEK'S POST I reminded readers that every situation is different, just as every property has its own specific characteristics and every vendor has their own goals and preferences.

In fact, we saw a prime example of this in two of our most recent sales results. Sometimes we need to let a competitive auction do its thing, and sometimes we need to allow post-auction negotiations to produce a better result.

Our auction this week in Regalla Drive, Greenvale saw a modern five-bedroom, three-bathroom home offered for sale. Built by Henley, this as-new home made a real impact with its excellent outdoor living zones. We saw the SOLD sign go up on auction day at $1.015 million.

Over in Roxburgh Park, a three-bedroom home in Cottage Close attracted bidding from a couple of motivated buyers, resulting in a pleasing sale at $619,000.

Meanwhile, last week’s auction of a five-bedroom home on close to half an acre (2005sqm) with a tennis court in Drummond Street, Greenvale (pictured) showed the value of professional post-auction negotiations, with the contracts being inked during the week comfortably above the figure it was ‘passed-in’ at on Saturday.

As I mentioned last week, the most important decision you can make when selecting the right strategy to market you own home relies on choosing the approach that will best suit your specific goals and priorities…and that comes down to getting the right advice from Day One.

So if you are currently weighing up whether now is the right time to sell your property in the City of Hume, and would like some Objective and caring objective advice on how to approach this task, you can give our team at Barry Plant Gladstone Park a call on 9330 1088.
