James Market Insight
Toorak: 140 Kooyong Road - Bought $4,040,000 - Bidderman 2. Although this went better than some thought it would, an overall toughish day for Iain Carmichael and an even tougher day for many slightly surprised auctioneers across Melbourne who were performing to less enthusiastic bidders than a fortnight ago.

It is 6pm Saturday and the James Million Dollar-Plus Clearance rate from the 31 Auctions we attended today was 61 per cent. Wow that was a bit of a surprise! Please note we thought the quality of the homes on offer... Show Full Story

Sandringham 5 Jennings: Steve Tickell and Jenny Dwyer with bidders everywhere - is it another bidder? Nope it was a low flying plane.
February 27th 2010
It is 6pm and the James Million Dollar+ Clearance rate from the 47 Auctions we attended today was 83 per cent. This week, we are focusing purely on the market, as it is the first major quality offering since late... Show Full Story

Market analysis of Bayside area
Brighton 42a Black St - Sold After Undisclosed - Bidderman 2. David Hart working hard to get some action, eventually passing it in at $2,100,000 and selling it afterwards
Definitely quieter in Bayside today, but overall stock quality wasn't as good as Feb 27th. Some prices a bit lower than expected.
March 13th 2010
Auctions were quieter today in terms of bidder numbers. Of the four properties we attended in Brighton/Brighton East, all passed in.   Of the 5 auctions in Bayside that we covered, there were only 9 bidders; with only one selling under the hammer.   Does this mean that vendors have become excited by the hype surrounding the market and raised their expectations higher or does it mean buyers maybe slowing a little? Please note only one remains unsold at time of writing so four have sold between hammer time and 6.00pm Thirteen  days into March and figures show at least 24 sales over $1,000,000 in Bayside - that's nearly two per day! Year to date 98 sales reported over a million compared with 55 year to date this time last year In Bayside.  There were 16 in Brighton alone and all methods seem to be selling.  Two big ones for Kay & Burton were 60 St Andrews Street, managed by Justin Follett of Kay and Burton, selling privately for $2,900,000 and 23 Drake Street, with Sturt Hinton running an expressions of interest campaign, successfully achieving more than $2,800,000 for the new townhouse. Jonathon Dixon of JP Dixon auctioned 2 Connor Street, Brighton East. A good family home on 660 sqm but still managed to pass in with 3 bidders at $2,170,000 (the agent negotiating afterward and successfully obtaining at least another $100,000... Show Full Story

Explanations & Disclaimers
Bought* - Indicates property has been sold. We are a rating company for buyers only, and we use the word bought instead of sold. We do not buy all the properties listed on this website so we often rely on an advertised price or the selling agent to indicate bought price and occasionally the result may be inaccurate.
