Summer 2012 Property Guide Issue 111
MARKET REPORT
Compton Green has dealt with the challenges of the property market like many others. As we reflect back on last year, we see that we have dealt with the market quite well. Essentially the market volatility is unprecedented and the best agents are those who can adapt themselves and their clients to the “new� market conditions as quickly as possible.
Growth in our team and the impact of our new brand has been a direct contribution to what we have called, a good year. Our days on market have stretched out to 55 days but we have simply sold more homes. This has given us a leadership position in Williamstown and Yarraville. We have also noted a new record price for a home in Yarraville and our most consistent and stable year in Property Management. As we look ahead in 2012 it looks like an exciting year for Compton Green. With the further impact of our new brand expected and the engagement of new people to our team and even bigger and more informative events such as the State of the Market Information Evening, 2012 will be a year to look forward to.
Our approach to everything we do will remain, we are focused on great sales results and risk free property management. Our offices in Williamstown will be rebuilt through the year and we look forward to moving into a new building late 2012 early 2013. We hope you all had a great Christmas / new year break and look forward to assisting all our existing and new clients in Making their Change possible.

how green is your investment? Goes Green is an exciting initiative developed by Compton Green, your local real estate agent for over 80 years. Because houses are our business, we concentrated on water saving measures and other ‘green’ concerns, soon realising our research may help our landlords (and subsequently, their tenants). By developing a simple checklist and plan for improving the ‘green’ credentials of properties under our management, we believed we could create real benefits for all involved. Hence, Goes Green was born. Now we direct our attention to all landlords to make them aware of all the areas we can assist them in improving their homes. Goes Green aims to help our environment, save money for the tenant and add value to our landlords investment.
To find out how to green up your investment property contact your local Compton Green office or visit goesgreen.com.au
