Hughesdale. A suburb filled with tree-lined streets, luscious green parks, quaint local cafes and schools. A suburb our Sales Consultant, Andris Crawford, calls home.
Located 19.1kms from Melbourne’s Central Business District, and only 2.1kms from the renowned Fashion Capital, Chadstone Shopping Centre, Hughesdale’s location offers loads of amenities and great period homes.
It is a suburb which includes the vibrant Poath Road Village Shops, and is a stone’s throw away from the cultural Eaton Mall Cafe Precinct in Oakleigh.
Hughesdale offers families quiet residential streets with access to local kindergartens, playgrounds and schools.
Andris, confident in his knowledge of the local area, made the decision to bring forward his Auction for 34 Long Place, Hughesdale. Originally scheduled to go under the hammer at an onsite auction on Saturday the 28th of August, a direct yet positive conversation was had with his vendor, resulting in the auction being brought forward and conducted online on Saturday the 21st of August.
Understandably, lockdown has been a deterrent for some sellers, but Andris applied his knowledge and experience to advise his vendor otherwise; “with lockdown looking to be extended with no real end date insight, I recommended that the pending auction be brought forward to the coming Saturday. I knew we had genuine interest from the one general inspection that we had as well as the number of enquiries I was fielding during the lockdown.”.
Fortunately, the vendor of 34 Long Place, Hughesdale accepted and proceeded with the suggestions from his trustworthy agent, Andris.Our Hughesdale specialist confirmed that “with 8 bidders registered for the auction, we had 4 that bid with a total of 43 bids. The property was on the market after the second bid at $800,000”.
Andris Crawford is very consistent in his professional yet supportive approach to his clients, specifically stating that for 34 Long Place, Hughesdale, “my vendors were thrilled with the result and were highly appreciative for my recommendation to go to online auction”.
