Congratulations to our Vendors and Buyers on the successful sale and purchase.. We truly appreciate your trust both parties.
Here's the story 📖
SOLD & Settled | 9/9–11 Argyle Street, Carlton 🏡
2 Bed | 1 Bath | 1 Lock-Up Garage | Dual Laundries
Sold by Ample Estate Agents
At Ample Estate Agents, we pride ourselves on delivering results with strategy, transparency, and persistence. The successful sale of this renovated top-floor apartment in Carlton is a great example of what that looks like in action.
Campaign Performance Highlights:
🔸️76 days on the market
🔸️Over 3,000 listing views
🔸️101+ enquiries
🔸️5 open homes attracting 40+ buyer groups (90% first home buyers)
🔸️6 private inspections
🔸️8 contracts issued
From day one, this property captured attention, particularly among first-home buyers seeking a move-in-ready apartment with excellent long-term potential. Featuring a renovated kitchen, living and dining area with new tiling, modern floorboards in the bedrooms, dual laundry options (internal and external), and a secure garage, it offered strong appeal in a well-connected location.
However, the journey to sold was not without its challenges and this is where having the right agent matters.🏡
Understanding the Market to Overcome Barriers
Several factors slowed momentum early on:
🔸️Being on the top floor with no lift access required the right buyer who was comfortable with stairs.
🔸️The property was tenanted until March 2026, limiting the appeal for owner-occupiers.
🔸️There was an unconfirmed special levy within the strata, a "grey area" that created hesitation among cautious buyers.
Plus a few more issues....
These aren’t uncommon challenges in today’s market but they require a tailored, transparent strategy.
We worked closely with the vendor to reassess pricing expectations based on buyer feedback, current market conditions, and the property's value proposition.
The Result? 💸
Within 24 hours of adjusting our strategy, we secured two serious offers and ultimately negotiated a successful sale at $733,500. This represented a circa 20% increase fir the vendor.
