Understanding market cycles and current market conditions will put you in a much stronger position to buy and sell with the best results.

Managing the sale of a deceased estate can be extremely stressful. Emotions run high and the property often holds precious memories and sentimental value no sale price could ever match.

The 2011 Market calendar: best times to buy and sell. Sales campaigns for apartments and houses in Melbourne usually span four weeks: the first three Saturdays of the campaign are open for inspections; the fourth Saturday is auction day.

Last week we managed the sale of Pedders Suspension, an iconic commercial site at 569 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn. The property was a 1,310sqm family-run petrol station, zoned residential 1, and it was the first time it had been on the market in 50 years. Its outstanding position made it a prime site for residential development.
