Building Comment:

The past 12 months have been exciting in terms of sales figures for 33 Jeffcott Street with prices up and owners enjoying steady growth.  The Royal Flagstaff experienced less activity compared to the previous financial.  This confirms that apartments within this complex are being tightly held due to strong growth.

Despite the uncertainty of the global financial crisis in the past year, the Royal Flagstaff has seen an increase in average apartment sale prices over $40,000, compared the previous financial year.

After speaking with many of the owners in the building it is evident that spirits are very high and most owners are certainly satisfied with the appreciation in value of their property.

Looking forward, the Royal Flagstaff offers a unique buying opportunity in a highly sought after pocket of Melbourne.  This should cushion it from too many market fluctuations for the coming financial year.

Dionne Says Do Not Miss…….

I love the superb location of the Royal Flagstaff building.  It offers a great experience of a short stroll through Flagstaff gardens to the famous Victoria Market, and is just a stones throw from the CBD’s fantastic cafés, restaurants and nightspots.  West Melbourne, and especially the Royal Flagstaff Building, is a highly sought after pocket of Melbourne as it is an easily accessible location that offers a tranquility that comes from being nestled next to the beautiful Flagstaff Gardens.

What our Landlords say…….

“Harcourts City Residential were terrific. I had a vacant Melbourne City apartment in a prime location for three months with my previous Melbourne city agent. I then spoke to Dionne Wilson from Harcourts City Residential. As soon as speaking to Dionne, I knew her professionalism and helpfulness would ensure my apartment would be tenanted very soon. Not only did Dionne find me tenants within 10 days, Dionne was able to market my apartment at the market price (which was my asking price) and not a much lower price that my previous agent had my apartment advertised at .Thank you Dionne and Harcourts City Residential my stress is finally over.”.
