262 Napier Street, Strathmore, 651sqm
Sold today for $1.738M.
No online advertising campaign. No auction campaign. Just a quiet board out the front and conversations with people already known to be actively looking. One of those conversations led us back to a previous client someone we’ve had the privilege of working with before who was ready when the right opportunity came along and could immediately see the value in the block and its potential for his future family home site.
Recently, three weeks ago, just a few doors down, a similar property, same land sold through a different agency and approach with an auction marketing campaign for $1.65M. It’s a reminder that in a softer market, there are often multiple pathways to a successful result.
For us, it continues to come back to a simple belief, that not everything is for auction. It’s not only about marketing reach, but about readiness. Knowing the buyers who are genuinely in the market, and the real trust we have built over years of conversation before the properties are even listed.
When that alignment happens, the process becomes less about pushing and more about connecting which in this case saw an $88,000 difference in result.
Proud of this one.
