Essendon is a high-demand suburb 9km north-west of Melbourne CBD with strong family appeal, excellent schools and consistent price growth. Collings Property Advisory gives buyers and sellers in Essendon independent expert guidance for a fixed fee of $4,500 + GST.
The Problem Most Essendon Buyers and Sellers Face
Essendon’s popularity means auctions are competitive and private sale negotiations are tough. Buyers without comparable sales data overpay. Sellers without a pricing strategy leave money on the table or sit on market too long. Professional guidance without paying full buyers advocate fees or agent commissions is the smart middle ground.
Common Mistakes Essendon Property Buyers Make
- Not distinguishing Essendon from Essendon West or Essendon North — price gaps are significant
- Paying above market on properties that have been passed in at auction
- Skipping building inspections on Essendon’s older Californian bungalow stock
- Not understanding the Strathmore Secondary zone premium in the north of the suburb
- Competing emotionally at auction without a ceiling price based on real comparable data
