| INTRODUCTION |
| Agent Comment:
Tribeca has performed well over the last financial year after falling significantly from its original off the plan prices.
With Melbourne’s property sales peaking during the 3rd quarter, and buyers frantically looking for inner city investments and residences, competition was fierce and numbers at open homes were high.
Vendors enjoyed high clearance rates with demand high and stocks low, and some record prices were achieved for our clients.
One of my favorite apartments this year was the Cohen’s “Jewel in the Crown”, apartment 403C, a large one bedroom with powder room off the living, and an amazing Nth facing terrace.
There were up to 6 active bidders at the auction, and a couple sat on their hands waiting to see where it would finish. An outstanding result of $554,000 resulted in our buyers celebrating their win in grand fashion, and they have since leased the property through us for $500pw. Not bad for a one bedroom unfurnished.
This apartment will continue to age gracefully and is a great example of the combination of the heritage elements, and the Phillipe Stark styling, and this is familiar to the Wharton section of the complex too.
Overall the complex has great interest from buyers, partly for location and access to public transport and the city, but East Melbourne’s old world charm and numerous parks are a hit, and the conveniences of Tribeca’s facilities make every day living that bit easier for our busy lifestyles.
Buyers love the historical façade and its character, blended with a modern fit-out and open plan living. Properties with heritage features blend the best of both worlds together, and these properties will be the best long term.
Space is a privilege not a right in apartment living these days, so some of the larger apartments that were for sale have received very high results, and will ensure good sales in the future when properly referenced and used as selling tools.
I always look forward to finding out more about the complex, as there are so many different aspects and layouts, and buyers are just as intrigued with the common area themes such as coloured carpets and designer lighting that each foyer and passage presents.
Well managed and maintained by a committed group of individuals, the complex still represents good buying, and enjoys a very low vacancy rate due to the number of options that it presents for landlords.
I look forward to more great results and experiences with owners and buyers alike. |
