Property Market Update Boroondara
Edition 2, 2020 The recent COVID-19 Stage 4 restrictions will obviously have an indelible effect on all Victorians, and we appreciate that big decisions about property or changing lifestyle may not be top of mind for most of you. We are also acutely aware of the pressures many of you will be feeling during this time and we wish you and those close to you the very best of health and a safe path out of this crisis. Despite the demanding times, many of our clients continue to buy and sell homes in the highly sought-after areas of Melbourne we serve and we felt a review of the property market in your local area might serve as a welcome distraction.

We look forward to a brighter Spring and a return to a 'new normal' where we can again be close to family and friends, and for many of us, a time when we can enjoy Melbourne's favourite pastime - property! Stay safe and please reach out should you require any assistance or just a little advice.
From the Agent Scarlett Hang's take on the market this quarter
While it has been a very challenging time for all Melburnians, the property market has shown remarkable resilience in the face of the many obstacles created by the COVID-19 pandemic. During our first lockdown we were able to adapt and pivot towards online and digital solutions that enabled both vendors and buyers to continue to transact property safely and successfully. There has also been a surge in discreet off market sales. In the brief period when onsite auctions were permitted, the strength of the market was evidenced by auction clearance rates that had returned to the high numbers we saw in the pre-COVID months. Despite media predictions, prices have remained relatively stable with quality property performing particularly well. Now that we are heading towards spring, we are experiencing increased traffic on all real estate websites, with buyers hoping for an influx of new property on the market.
Boroondara Lifestyle St Cloud's Eating House
The menu that aims for broad appeal. The Early Board covers all bases, with its tiny Bircher muesli, a fan of avocado, swirl of crisp pancetta and some soldiers and egg. Vegetarians might be moved by a handsome asparagus, poached egg, roast tomato, zucchini and feta arrangement. Those throwing caution to the wind can order the Classic Burger with Victorian beef, pickle, cos, tomato, mustard, mayo and Monterey Jack on a brioche bun, served with a side of potato gems dusted with ancho salt (made from a kind of chilli). It is anklebiter-accessible. Pancakes with maple syrup and berries are a good bet, as is egg and bacon on toast. The coffee takes things back to basics. A darker Niccolo blend is intended for milky coffee, and there´s a rotating single origin, too. - Broadsheet
