The Barry Plant Eastern Group Outperforms the Market – Even in Winter Conditions
Despite today’s wintry conditions — where many Melburnians chose to stay indoors — buyer confidence across the Barry Plant Eastern Group remained exceptionally strong. Committed purchasers turned up at our open homes and auctions in force, resulting in another outstanding week of sales for our clients.
Once again, the market rewarded well-presented homes supported by a strong campaign, and our team delivered excellent results across a range of price points.
Renovated & “Move-Straight-In” Homes Still in Highest Demand
Turnkey, beautifully updated homes offering a move-straight-in lifestyle continue to attract the strongest buyer interest. These properties are generating:
- Higher inspection numbers
- Competitive bidding
- Faster decision-making
- Premium price outcomes
Today’s auction results confirmed that serious buyers are not deterred by the weather — when they see the right home, they act quickly.
Luxury & Lifestyle Market Continues to Shine
A standout result this week was the impressive sale of 3 Otway Court, Doncaster East, achieving $3.4 million.

This result highlights the increasing strength of the premium end of the market, particularly within the Eastern corridor. Our Luxury & Lifestyle Division continues to connect prestige homes with high-quality buyers, delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.
In recent months, French Provincial homes have been a key performer, with multiple sales reaching close to $4 million — a clear sign that premium buyers are active, engaged, and willing to pay for quality, design, and lifestyle.
Why Sellers Should Act Now
As we enter the final key selling weeks of the year, urgency is building. Many buyers are eager to secure a property before Christmas so they can settle and move in early 2026.
Right now, sellers are benefiting from:
- Strong buyer competition
- Low days on market for high-quality homes
- Increased speed in buyer decision-making
- Excellent results across family and prestige price brackets
If you are considering selling, acting now allows you to take advantage of current momentum before the traditional festive slowdown.
