Building Comment:
It’s interesting to see that whilst for Docklands the average sale value fell from 2009-2010 to 2010 – 2011 yet for 100 Harbour Esplanade the average sale actually went up. This could be due to some return to the market of investors who are more likely to buy a two bedroom apartment than the year before still being dominated by first home buyers who are more likely to purchase a one bedroom apartment.
The building followed the suburb stats with the total sales volume being down on the previous year. Uncertainty in the market is definitely a driver here. We notice that whilst there are less buyers in the market, those who are out are very genuine and hence we’ve still seen some great results achieved, particularly for the better quality buildings in proven locations.

What our Landlords say…….
“Harcourts City Residential were terrific. I had a vacant Melbourne City apartment in a prime location for three months with my previous Melbourne city agent. I then spoke to Dionne Wilson from Harcourts City Residential. As soon as speaking to Dionne, I knew her professionalism and helpfulness would ensure my apartment would be tenanted very soon. Not only did Dionne find me tenants within 10 days, Dionne was able to market my apartment at the market price (which was my asking price) and not a much lower price that my previous agent had my apartment advertised at .Thank you Dionne and Harcourts City Residential my stress is finally over.”.
