What Marketing Spend is Actually Required for Blocks of Units? (2026, Victoria)

September 21, 2026

Introduction
Owners often ask if high marketing spend is needed to sell blocks of units. Simon Abbott explains his approach, and shares real-world results that challenge conventional wisdom for Victoria’s investor market.

Conventional Marketing Paths

  • Big portals: REA/Domain, print, social ads
  • Brochures, signboards, premium add-ons

Simon’s Data-Driven Approach

  • Leverages his private buyer/investor database
  • Real case: block sold off-market at higher value after previous agents spent $20k+ without a result

Where Should Owners Invest?

  • Professional photos and honest floorplans matter
  • Buyer packs and clean documentation impress real investors

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Overspending on print or non-targeted portal listings
  • Letting a mediocre agent dictate required spend without backing it up with evidence

Takeaways

  • For blocks of units, “database and deal governance” often outperform raw spend
