An extremely strong month of business for the Lorne branch. In terms of volume of transactions it’s been easily the best month since the early 2000’s (2000 – 2003). Property at each price spectrum is selling at full prices and on occasions competition drove the eventual contract price over the original asking price. E.g. 55 Hall Street and 56 Dorman Street.

We continue to appraise property and look to present fresh listings to the market over the next few weeks.

Keep in close contact with our selling agents and email or call me should you seek a more detailed Lorne market report.

A predictable strong market for the first 14 days of January! Out of the Lorne branch seven Lorne township sales have been contracted with a massive price range e.g. $165,000 (vacant land) to $1,500,000 (house sale). Two further sales in Kennett River, one in Wye River and two in the rural areas took place. In total 12 completed transactions with a further six other properties under negotiation. Very encouraging, as historically the last two weeks of January are usually our busiest selling fortnight for the entire year.

The accommodation centre had a massive fortnight and was 98% occupied of the 200 lettable properties in Lorne. We are tracking at 70% for the next two weeks, so feel free to book online as there is plenty of available accommodation. Some properties can be booked for short stays now (3 – 5 days). www.greatoceanroadholidays.com.au

Feel free to call the office or email me should you require any further explanation of the above commentary or assistance with any local real estate matters.
