墨尔本Bentleigh East周六的一栋房产拍卖


Bentleigh East这栋三卧室砖瓦房屋主Ged和Nicola Everson本来希望能卖到$700,000元,结果起拍后现场鸦雀无声。眼看要流拍,最后只有唯一的一位买家举手出价$500,000元,而屋主的授 权拍卖保留底价是$630,000元,pass in后这位买家获得优先谈判的权利,进屋继续和屋主讨价还价,最终以$621,000元成交。

Bentleigh East是墨尔本相当好的一个区。上个月本地报纸《Herald Sun》曾连续报道和评估墨尔本的好区,最后评出墨尔本最宜居的城区就是位于东南区的Bentleigh East。

1 CALEB STREET BENTLEIGH EAST

Home to a landscape architect, this expertly renovated brick home is located just metres from the shopping strip in Melbourne's most liveable suburb. Inside, this 3 bedroom home is styled up with a striking stainless-steel appliance kitchen, an all-white bathroom (plus 2nd WC) and open-plan living with reverse-cycle air-conditioning and tall doors facing north to the garden. Outside, there's a drought-friendly feature front yard, rear decking stretching beyond a witty feature wall (inspired by iconic architecture) and showpiece rear gardens with a very practical focus - a ready-to-upgrade studio and front and rear garages - at rear even tall enough for a caravan, and with separate laneway access! More than enough room for an extension or possible redevelopment.

遭遇‘黑色星期六’墨尔本房产拍卖成功率连续第二周大幅下滑


IT was a buyer's market, but buyers were few and far between as Melbourne's auction clearance rate collapsed to 53 per cent yesterday.

2008年10月26日《Herald Sun》报道,昨天,墨尔本房产市场遭遇“黑色星期六”。虽然联邦政府大幅度增加首次置业补贴,但房产拍卖成功率依然连续第二周暴跌。

昨天的clearance rate在上周六大跌6%的基础上,继续下跌了4%至53%,距离最低的2004年7月47%仅仅一步之遥。去年同期墨尔本房产拍卖成功率高达83.4%!

东区Templestowe一栋豪宅更推出送家具的优惠,并且在拍卖前接受了一位买家的出价。 Bentleigh East一栋三卧室砖瓦房屋主Ged和Nicola Everson本来希望能卖到$700,000元,结果起拍后现场鸦雀无声。眼看要流拍,最后只有唯一的一位买家举手出价$500,000元,而屋主的授权拍卖保留底价是$630,000元,pass in后这位买家获得优先谈判的权利,进屋继续和屋主讨价还价,最终以$621,000元成交。

尽管首置补贴翻番,但首次购房者依然出价谨慎。不过包括house,Unit和Flat在内的$350,000元以下各类房产的销售状况良好,特别是象Taylors Lakes这样的房价较便宜地区。

昨天大墨尔本地区共有843栋房产上市拍卖,449成功售出,394 passed in,289是vendor bids。
下周六因举行Spring Racing Carnival全墨尔本只有151栋房产上市拍卖。
