Kew Property Success Story
By Michael Katsaris
As we reflect on our recent achievements in Kew, one story stands out, encapsulating our commitment to excellence and client satisfaction. After a decade of managing 23 Albert Street as a rental, delivering consistently above-market rent (5-10% more), we had the privilege of handling its sale. Our client’s trust, cultivated through years of fuss-free management and minimal vacancies, led to a remarkable auction outcome last September.

Weekly Australian Auction Market Analysis: 26–28 September 2025
The Melbourne auction market pushed through spring’s final stretch with the kind of stamina that has defined this campaign, absorbing a surge in listings and still clearing the bulk of quality stock. Following last week’s Super Saturday result, where combined capitals achieved 72.3 per cent and Melbourne cleared 75.7 per cent, this week settled into a more sustainable rhythm. Melbourne recorded 1,345 scheduled auctions with 984 reported results and a clearance rate of 68 per cent. That is a step down from the frenzy of Super Saturday, but it is still a strong outcome given the Melbourne Cup lull, the snap-back in volumes that inevitably follows, and the persistent headwind of higher serviceability. The median sale price in Melbourne came in at $991,000, pointing to firm buyer depth in family-friendly corridors and renewed activity from investors targeting yield and depreciation benefits as the year winds down.
