Strong sales continue in the inner north

The good news for local property owners is not just the number of SOLD stickers going up on Barry Plant boards in this part of town, bit also the fact that the strong buyer activity extends across all areas, price ranges and property types.

Here’s a cross-section of some of the recent activity in the inner north:

Northcote: 4 French Avenue

This brand new, craftsman-built four-bedroom home (pictured) utilised quality materials and finishes throughout, from the Daniel Robertson bricks that greeted you as you entered to the stylish kitchen highlighted by marble benchtops and Miele appliances. Zoned for Northcote High and Westgarth Primary, this striking contemporary showpiece achieved an outstanding mid-week result, selling for $1.68 million.

Preston: 45 Victoria Street

In contrast to the property above, this sale involved a refurbished three-bedroom home with a rustic setting where native greenery dominated. Privacy and character were equally apparent here, with buyers responding positively to the sense of privacy and the excellent location on the south side of bell Street. A productive auction campaign saw the SOLD sign go up at a very pleasing $930,000.

Preston: 2/30 Ovando Street

Hassle-free low maintenance living, and an abundance of natural light were a couple of the attractions of this modern two-bedroom townhouse set at the rear of the block just a stone’s throw from Bell Street. A highly competitive auction with several first home bidders in the mix saw a terrific sale achieved at $641,000.

The important thing to keep in mind if you are planning on taking advantage of the strong market right now is that results like these don’t just happen. They require careful planning and an intimate knowledge of the property market in the inner north. So if you are considering making a move, don’t hesitate to give the team at Barry Plant Northcote & Preston a call.
