Another great month for Ray White Southbank as 22 properties are sold unconditionally and we also had 31 new lettings across our rental department.
Following on from a great month in October, November is looking set to be a even stronger month.
In October, At Ray White Southbank we had 22 properties sell unconditionally, 3 properties were sold by way of auction and 19 sold by private treaty clearly showing that we do offer people choice as to which way they would like to sell their property.
We sold $11,455,000 worth of property with the average sale in October around the $545,000 mark.
Because Ray White list and sell more property than any other agency in Australia, we have more buyer traffic than any other agency.
More inspections does mean more competition which results in better prices.
Similarly, we are experiencing a very low vacancy rate of 1.5% within our rental department. This a good result considering the Melbourne Metro vacancy rate has moved up to 3% from 2.9% in October.
There are however a large number of cranes in the sky across Melbourne so we remain vigilent and are continually improving our systems and intensifying our training in preparation for a new wave of new dwellings that will be hitting the market in the lead up to Christmas.
If we can assist you with any real estate needs please do not hesitate to contact my team on 03 8102 0200.

Chinese buyers have disappeared from the Sydney trophy home market and Melbourne could be to blame.
As Sydney’s prestige agents scratch their heads at a baffling lack of inquiry among offshore buyers this Spring, data shows China’s cashed-up house hunters are increasingly showing a predilection for a Toorak mansion over a Point Piper waterfront.

Ray White Investment night
It’s widely known that investing in the property market is a great way to secure and build wealth, but far less known is exactly how you do it. That’s why Ray White Southbank has initiated invest seminars right here in Southbank.
Our company is perfectly placed to advise anyone on the property market.“We decided this year that we wanted to provide another aspect to our real estate business. As we are part of the largest real estate brand in the country, we have access to a lot of information surrounding property,” Mr Salvo said.
“We also have a core property investment team working within the business,” he added. He also explained that the reputation and standing with which Ray White is held within the property industry helps back up the advice.“Ray White is 111 years old and has over 1000 offices world wide,” Mr Salvo said.“From this vast network, we can leverage off some vital property information and investor experiences,” he added.
Combining this knowledge with an intimate understanding of the local area further strengthens Ray White’s advice.“We deal with inner city locals everyday and know the questions that we get asked on a daily basis. We designed our presentation to cater to what we commonly get asked,” Mr Salvo said. The first of these events was held during November and was a great success. About 40 people listened to the advice and 30 of these have chosen to look a bit deeper, booking a follow up appointment with Ray White.
