Melbourne Property News - Buyer Marketing

November listings jump, adding great choice to the market!

The clearance rate averaged a very high 84.50%. 1,796 homes were bought by private sale.

What does a home buyer need to know right now?

November is bringing a surge in newly listed properties for sale and that means a great opportunity to find the one that’s perfect for you. Buyer Marketing will help you find the best properties in your preferred area and then guide you through the essential steps it takes to seal the deal for your perfect home!

A terrific buy in Camberwell

A great outcome for our client was purchasing 22 Cooloongatta Road Camberwell for $2,530,000 at auction. With keen competition on the day against five other bidders, Buyer Marketing’s strong bidding skills won out, securing the property for our very happy client who is over the moon with the result!

What’s driving the new November listings?

The market usually jumps in Spring but favourable economic conditions are lifting the market further. Cash rates have been reduced enough to boost people’s buying power and serviceability. Owners who were waiting to upgrade or relocate are now coming to market.

Also, the expanded First Home Guarantee scheme (with higher price caps) which started on October 1 has made more expensive properties more affordable for first-home buyers. This has pumped up demand for lower to middle value homes.

What’s happening with Melbourne values

Melbourne’s median home value lifted 0.9% over October. Values are up 1.6% over the last quarter and 3.3% over the last 12 months.

Investment properties hitting the market

According to the recently published Homes Victoria Rental Report the State Government’s targeted taxing of landlords has resulted in 10,000 landlord-owned rental properties being sold off in the last financial year.

About 14% of Australians have an investment property as well as their principle residence. These are often mum and dad investors with just one investment property, set up as an alternative to superannuation.

This added supply hitting the market is good news however for owner-occupiers (particularly first home buyers) who now have more to choose from. The downside is it’s terrible news for renters, who now have less choice and spiralling rents.

Peter's knowledge and expertise were invaluable when purchasing my first home. He guided me through every step and kept me informed regularly, which made the process easier and less stressful. I felt supported and in good hands throughout. Everything fell into place within a few weeks, quicker than expected! I would highly recommend Peter and his services.

Peter Fox is an outstanding buyer’s advocate. I am so glad that I hired him. It was incredibly helpful to have someone so experienced in real estate navigate the ins and outs of buying a home on my behalf. He achieved the result I was looking for in record speed, and took the stress out of everything. Thank you Peter.

I had an excellent experience working with Peter in purchasing my first home. Peter has a calm demeanour and is a clear communicator - never once did I feel stressed, pressured or uncertain of where I was in the journey or what the next steps would be. Peter understood me and my brief, selected quality properties to inspect and took me through off-market properties to compare. Within 3 weeks of contracting Peter we secured the perfect place. I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase, and believe I would have missed out on the property without Peter's rapport and expertise in communicating with Real Estate, and then guidance once the negotiation process started. Peter made the process of finding a property so fun and exciting that I was almost sad when it was over! Thanks Peter!

We engaged Peter Fox for bidding and negotiating, hands down one of the best decisions we ever made. He was clear and comforting ahead of auction and on the day witnessing Peter go to work was awe inspiring. Having done his due diligence beforehand, he was quick to assess a sizable field of interested parties and surgically execute a winning strategy securing for us our dream home. All that aside Peter was empathetic and understood our worries and motivations while also demonstrating strong discipline and an ethical approach throughout. Thank you Peter Fox

Peter is nothing short of a real estate king. I engaged Peter because I was looking at buying a specific house in a very competitive area, and which was being sold under a complex set of circumstances. Before even formally engaging him, Peter had gone to see the house in question, had spoken to the real estate agent, and had a good idea of what we were working with. From that moment on, I knew I was in safe hands. Peter was always available to alleviate any concerns and answer any questions, and when he wasn’t in a position to know the answers, he knew exactly how to get them in a prompt manner. Peter established a strong rapport with both the vendor’s solicitor (which ensured my lawyers and I were comfortable with the state of affairs before auction day) and the selling agent (which was critical to my ultimate success at auction). I cannot even begin to describe Peter’s mastery on auction day: there is no way I would’ve succeeded had he not been there. I cannot recommend Peter highly enough. Infinite thanks to you, Peter!

Peter Fox from Buyer Marketing helped us buy a property in Vermont South recently. We have been looking to downsize for some time and, honestly, are fairly fussy with our criteria. So when a house came along which ticked many of the boxes for us, we enlisted Peter's help to negotiate with the agent and to get the deal across the line. Peter was friendly, approachable and professional throughout. His knowledge and experience of the real estate market and the buying side in particular meant that we could leave the conversations and timing of offers to Peter. We were able to secure the property we wanted at a price that met our budget and met our criteria. So we are very grateful for Peter's advice, assistance and good communication throughout the process.

With Buyer Marketing’s Peter Fox I was in good hands from the beginning. An initial meeting with Peter set me on the path to a successful purchase of a property. This was an informal chat whereby he was able to understand precisely what my requirements were.From there the process was clear and efficient, Peter explaining not only what he would do but also how and why those were his strategies.Regular updates and the knowledge that he was up for a chat anytime was most reassuring.

Peter provided us with deep knowledge of the local areas, the real estate market and contacts within the industry that allowed us to quickly purchase a property that suited us perfectly. He gave us calm and thoughtful recommendations and was there for us at every step. He gave us insights we would not have otherwise known, and made the whole process simple. He conducted all the negotiations on our behalf and we came away with the perfect property at the right price. Could not recommend his services higher.
