Yesterday on the still, crisp winter’s day at Gillies St Fairfield, the crowd milled in anticipation outside the gorgeous three bedroom, period styled co-joined cottage.

Houses like this are often termed “crowd-pleasers” by us, because they have broad owner-occupier appeal based on a third bedroom, generous rear courtyard and great open-plan living area. From couples to singles to families to down-sizers.<\/p>\n

… these types of properties\u00a0attract large numbers and equally with renters alike, they can represent great investments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our competing buyers were indeed a good clue. The campaign had attracted a good blend of buyers including other advocates.<\/p>\n

\"fairfield_stationFairfield certainly starred on our preferred suburbs list for this assignment. Our brief was to find a comfortable ‘lock and leave’ style home in good, sound condition in a nice cafe-lifestyle inner-suburb for our down-sizers. A third bedroom was on the list and our budget precluded houses on the eastern side of the city. Fairfield, a mere 6km from the city is bounded by Alphington, Collingwood and Northcote, and like it’s popular neighbours,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"fairfield_bean_counter\"Fairfield boasts a fantastic range of great cafes and delis along the ever-bustling Station St. One of our favourites is Bean Counter Cafe<\/a>, synonymous for their friendly staff, great coffee and interesting tea. But our all time favourite place for a tranquil escape from inner-urban living is the Fairfield Boathouse<\/a>;<\/p>\n

…..a gentle paradise where a quiet cruise in a rowboat on the Yarra river can while away hours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With all of this nature and culture at the doorstep, it was little wonder our clients said ‘yes’ when we presented Gillies St to them.<\/p>\n

Our comparable sales analysis was interesting Finding a three bedroom, period-styled, open plan living house in this patch of recent was no mean feat.<\/p>\n

Properties like this are tightly held.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But those we did consider guided us to a figure somewhere around $1.050,000 and with our due diligence processes in place, we set a clear limit and bided our time through the four week campaign for this big day.<\/p>\n\"fairfield_gilles1\"\"fairfield_gillies2\"\n

The property was on the market quickly and quick staccato bids ensured a fast auction.<\/p>\n

The hammer fell on our bid of $1,064,000 and our clients are thrilled.<\/p>\n

Wishing them years of fun, happiness and tranquil living in fascinating Fairfield.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
