In yet another positive sign for local homeowners, particularly those getting ready for a Spring sale, (with the official start of the new season now just over a month away), we saw some excellent sales results being completed in a wide range of suburbs and price ranges, from the first home price bracket through to seven figure territory.

Here’s a summary:

Aberfeldie: 24A Brunel Street. Combining superb city views with entertaining spaces worthy of your favourite resort, this sophisticated tri-level home of four bedrooms and three bathrooms was sold prior to auction after a convincing seven-figure offer sealed the deal.

Airport West: 3/35 Earl Street. The last remaining two-bedroom townhouse in this new development a short walk from Essendon Fields enjoyed a pleasing mid-week sale at $475,000.

Airport West: 111 Halsey Road. Five bidders fought for the keys at this week’s auction of this updated three-bedroom, two-bathroom timber home within walking distance of Westfield. As a result, the bidding soared more than 20% above the reserve before the gavel fell at $1.155 million!

Avondale Heights: 2/77 Canning Street. This centrally located ground floor two-bedroom apartment attracted strong inquiry levels from a mix of first home buyers, downsizers and investors before competitive mid-week negotiations saw the keys change hands at $320,000 (pictured).

Essendon: 4/225 Buckley Street. Set quietly at the rear of the block with surprisingly generous outdoor living space, this two-bedroom apartment was sold well before offers were due to close on a Sale by Set Date® campaign, achieving $475,000.

Keilor East: 79 Sterling Drive. This well-maintained three-bedroom home in a tightly held pocket of Keilor East made an impact with its generous living spaces and thoughtful use of timber in the interiors. The auction produced a pleasing sale at $860,000.

Don’t forget that one of the key ingredients in creating a realistic plan for the future is to start with up-to-date and accurate figures. So if you’d like an obligation-free update on what your property could achieve in the current climate, you can give us a call this week at Barry Plant Moonee Valley on 9373 0000.
