It’s been an exceptional week across the Barry Plant Eastern Group, with 30 properties sold and a further 15 properties now under offer — taking the group to 43 sales across the past 7 days.

This level of activity highlights a clear trend — buyers are not standing still. They are engaged, informed, and making confident decisions when the right opportunities present themselves.

Across many of this weekend’s auctions, we saw multiple bidders competing, reinforcing the depth of demand across the Eastern corridor.


Standout Results

25 Dwyer Street, Macleod — $2,950,000
👉 A record result for Macleod, led by our Ivanhoe office — a reflection of a fresh, energetic team creating real momentum.
1 One Tree Hill, Donvale — $2,415,000
👉 A premium acre property in one of Donvale’s most tightly held streets, with 5 bidders competing, highlighting continued strength in the lifestyle market.

Alongside these were strong results across Templestowe, Doncaster East, Mitcham, Bulleen and surrounding suburbs — showing broad-based demand across all segments.


Growing Demand in the Luxury & Lifestyle Market

We are also seeing a noticeable increase in buyer enquiry for acre and lifestyle homes across the eastern corridor.

Our dedicated Luxury & Lifestyle Division, led by Kathy Purcell and Theo Politis, continues to drive this segment with:

A specialised focus on prestige and acre properties
A large, qualified buyer database
Buyers ready to act when the right home becomes available

This is a segment of the market that is building momentum week by week.

The right advice and the right buyer networks are making all the difference.


Looking Ahead

With strong sales activity, growing buyer enquiry — particularly in the lifestyle market — and consistent competition at auctions, the Eastern market continues to show resilience and quiet momentum.

Our focus remains simple — to guide our clients with clarity, care, and experience, and to deliver results that matter.
