Building Comment:

This past financial year has been quite turbulent for the Melbourne market, yet 270 King Street managed to maintain values.  With fewer apartments sold than the previous financial year prices managed to remain consistent.  A positive sign considering recent market trends with many surrounding buildings experiencing a severe decline.

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

Looking forward, 270 King Street 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.

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.”.
