🔷 Market Report FY25 - Out Now 🔷

We’re excited to release our Commercial & Industrial Property FY25 Market Report.

Released annually, our Report focuses on local market insights, with this year’s key observation being the impact of ‘Generational Change’ on property.

Not only are we seeing an increase in older-style properties being reimagined into new and exciting premises, but our clients are also changing.

• Many are retiring so they can spend more time with their families
• Family businesses are being sold and the properties are becoming investments
• Long-held properties are passing to beneficiaries
• Generational investment portfolios are changing hands
• Properties are being repositioned to suit newer modern uses

It's an exciting time providing many new opportunities, accelerating trends and re-shaping our local market activity.

🔹SOLD OFF MARKET🔹

Sold Directly Through Our Database
📍20 Kitson Street, Frankston

Nichols Crowder is delighted to announce the successful off-market sale of 20 Kitson Street, Frankston.

This prime industrial property was sold directly to a purchaser from our database, achieving an impressive rate of $2,633 per square metre, a fantastic result for the Frankston market.

The property’s appeal was heightened by its own title and private driveway, which proved to be key deciding factors in the sale.

This outcome highlights the power of working with a local agent backed by an extensive database, saving the vendor thousands in marketing costs while still securing a premium result.

We extend our congratulations to both the vendor and the purchaser on this outstanding outcome.

🔵 Purchased directly from our database
🟢 Saved vendor thousands in marketing costs
🔵 Demonstrates the value of a local agent with an extensive database

🔹SOLD🔹

Sold Before Marketing Began
📍 18–20 Frankston Gardens Drive, Carrum Downs

SOLD: $3,400,000

Nichols Crowder is proud to announce the off-market sale of this 1,400sqm office/warehouse on its own title with two driveways in a prominent location.

Opportunities of this size are rare in the Carrum Downs market — and our deep local knowledge gave our vendor the edge. After receiving three separate agent appraisals, the vendor chose Nichols Crowder for our specialised expertise and strong buyer network.

Before the property even hit the open market, we introduced it to our clients and secured a deal with a local Carrum Downs business needing to upsize, achieving a swift and successful off-market sale. This saved our vendor valuable time and marketing costs.

🔵 1,400sqm office/warehouse
🟢 Two driveways
🔵Own title

Congratulations to our vendor and purchaser!

If you’re considering selling, talk to the agents with the connections to get results — on or off the market.

Agent: James Dodge
