Four Sales. One Clear Market Message.

Last week Croll Real Estate sold four very different properties:

House | Balgowlah Heights
Prestige Apartment | North Sydney
Apartment | Mosman Village
Apartment | Neutral Bay

Four different properties and four different market segments, but together they provide an interesting snapshot of what we are seeing in the current market.

Properties that present well, are in sought-after positions and have no significant drawbacks are continuing to sell strongly, with little or no price discounting.

At the other end of the market, properties with complications — or those competing in areas with a significant supply of new apartments — are experiencing much greater price pressure and, in some cases, substantial discounting.

For the more typical property in between, we are seeing what we would describe as a normal price correction for its particular market and location.

The key takeaway is that this is not one market moving uniformly. Buyers are increasingly discerning, and quality, position, presentation and scarcity are making a very real difference to the result.

Four sales. Four different properties. One very useful snapshot of today’s market.

A Special Piece of Local History.

There are occasions in real estate when a property brings together family, friendship and a wonderful piece of local history.

We have just had the privilege of selling 84 Beatrice Street, Balgowlah Heights, a much-loved family home that had been held by the same family for more than 64 years, on behalf of the Estate of Doug and Pat Raupach.

For many people on the Lower North Shore, the Raupach name will bring back memories of Neutral Bay Pharmacy on Military Road. The pharmacy itself has an extraordinary history, dating back to 1898, and Doug and Pat were familiar faces there for many years, serving generations of local families.

The wonderful old photographs of Doug behind the pharmacy counter and Pat working in the dispensary capture another era of Neutral Bay — a time when longstanding local businesses and the people behind them were very much part of the fabric of the community.

For me, this sale was particularly personal. The Raupachs are close family friends and I have known them my entire life. One of the photographs here shows Doug and Pat together at Croll Real Estate’s 100-year celebrations in 2004 — a particularly special image that reflects the long friendship between our families and two businesses with deep roots in the local community.

It was therefore a genuine honour to be entrusted by the Raupach family with the sale of a property that had been part of their lives for more than six decades.

84 Beatrice Street achieved $3,050,000, a strong result in the current market and another indication of the resilience of Balgowlah Heights. While the broader Sydney property market has experienced a correction, tightly held homes in quality locations continue to attract strong buyer interest.

A special thank you also to Lucia, who worked incredibly hard alongside me throughout the campaign and played an important part in achieving this result for the family.

From Doug and Pat’s days at Neutral Bay Pharmacy, through decades of family friendship, to the sale of 84 Beatrice Street, these photographs tell a wonderful story of family, community and local history spanning generations.

Thank you to the Raupach family for entrusting Croll Real Estate with such an important sale. It was genuinely a privilege.

The Croll Story

A Legacy Built on Grit, Horses and Heart

The Croll Real Estate story began in 1904, when an ambitious 18-year-old named Andrew Raleigh Croll opened a small real estate office in Neutral Bay.

It was a very different world. Motor cars were a rare sight and much of the Lower North Shore was still undeveloped. Young Raleigh would take prospective buyers to inspect properties in a horse-drawn sulky, accompanied by the family’s famously dozy horse, Dolly Daydreams, who occasionally needed a nudge to keep both herself and the business moving.

Neutral Bay and the surrounding North Shore grew rapidly, with the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932 helping transform the area.

Raleigh’s son Colin Croll began learning the business during his school holidays, collecting rents door-to-door. After studying law and spending time overseas, he returned to take the reins following his father’s death in 1957.

Colin carried with him one particularly simple piece of advice from his father: success in real estate was “mostly about energy.”

Under Colin’s leadership, Croll grew from a four-person office into a substantial real estate business, earning a reputation for integrity, hard work and personal service. Well into his 90s, Colin remained a familiar face around the office, his interest in the business and the local community undiminished.

In 2002, the third generation took the helm, with Colin’s son Andrew Croll becoming Managing Director.

Today, Andrew leads the family business alongside his wife Monica Croll, a Director and Head of Accounts and Property Management. Together they continue to grow Croll while preserving the independence, personal service and family involvement that have defined the agency for generations.

More than 120 years after Raleigh first opened the doors in Neutral Bay, the world of real estate has changed enormously. But some things haven't.

Energy. Integrity. Hard work. Personal service. And a genuine commitment to the people and community we serve.

They were at the heart of Croll in 1904, and they remain at the heart of Croll today.
