24.01.2022 The public are ready and want to get on with it.As Victoria awaits the road map rolling out of stage 4 restrictions as the public are getting more and more frustrated. Overwhelmingly there are signs of the state just wanting to get on with things as the stats show us from last month. Over the 5 weekends of August, the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) recorded more than 650 online auctions. 257 properties were sold at auction, with 72 passed in, 31 on a vendor bid and ...209 properties were sold before auction. The clearance rate averaged 85.5% over the first three weekend with insufficient data for the last two weekends.The above figures do not take into account private and off market sales which have been taking place and will remain a major driving factor for the rest of the year. Current inquiry levels suggest that once the restrictions are lifted to the extent that you can once again inspect a property we will also see more listings become available for sale. It seems the lock down has given people time to work out what they are after and how they would like to live. Using New Zealand as a guide when restrictions were lifted, 2 to 3 months of business was done in 1 month. Obviously, current reports regarding the Victorian economy may create some speed humps but Australians are known for getting on with things. All other states have also seen a lift in sales numbers after their restrictions were lightened. If you are a serious purchaser now is the time to make sure the agents in the areas you are looking for knows who you are as more and more properties are being placed directly with serious ready to go buyers.

20.01.2022 Ok, so it’s not time to get on the beers down the pub just yet.But from 1 June, you might be able to have a couple with your parma or enjoy brunch at a cafe.I know how much everyone's missed these simple pleasures. Our cafes, restaurants and pubs are a big part of what makes our state great and it's safe to say hospo is among the industries hardest hit by this pandemic.So we've put together a plan to restart things slowly and carefully. From 1 June, cafes, restaurants a...nd pubs will be able to serve sit-down meals to up to 20 customers at a time, per enclosed space.From 22 June this could increase to up to 50 patrons and up to 100 by the second half of July. Businesses will need to adhere to the four-metre-square rule at all times and follow strict safety guidelines including extra cleaning, staff health screening and temperature checks.And just to be clear: the timeline will be entirely dependent on how we’re tracking with case numbers, and how well everyone sticks to the rules and does the right thing.Our ongoing testing blitz is giving us cause for cautious optimism and given Victoria's Chief Health Officer the confidence to make some changes. But if we see a sudden upswing in cases or breaches of the rules, we’ll have to review and potentially retighten restrictions.We have a roadmap to help Victoria’s cafes, restaurants and pubs safely reopen.And it’s up to all of us to make it work.

20.01.2022 The lack of understanding by the Victorian government regarding the operations of the real estate sector is evidenced in almost every facet of the way which it has handled the restrictions and the moratorium. The delay in allowing private inspections means that many people will be unable to make the move they so desperately have to make or commit to a property without seeing it first. This is unacceptable! Inspection ban is compounding financial stress on Victorians and the Victorian economy. Dan Andrews we need your support. Its time to open RealEstate! #OpenTheDoor #realestate #RealestateMatters #EssentialServices #PeopleNeedHomes #ShelterIsAHumanRight #RealestateInvestor #bigginscott #InThisTogether #Covid19 #SpreadTheMessage

18.01.2022 To All the Father’s & Dad’s-Have a Great Day

18.01.2022 On the advice of public health experts, the whole of Victoria will move to a short-lock down from 11:59pm tonight until 11:59pm on Wednesday, 17 February. That means there will be four reasons for Victorians to leave their home: shopping for the things you need, care and caregiving, exercise and work, if it is essential. Exercise and shopping will be limited to five kilometres from a person’s home. If there’s no shops in your five-kilometre radius, you’ll be able to tra...vel to the ones closest to you. Face masks will need to be worn indoors and outdoors whenever you leave home. You won’t be able to have visitors to your home. And any public gatherings won’t be able to go ahead. For school students, that means learning from home, unless they need onsite supervision as the children of essential workers. Unis and TAFEs will close or move to remote learning. Childcare and kinders will remain open. Gyms, pools, community centres, entertainment venues and libraries will all need to close. And as with Stage 4 restrictions, all non-essential retail will close, but essential stores like supermarkets, bottle shops and pharmacies will remain open. Cafes and restaurants will only be able to offer take-away.

17.01.2022 Another sensational Biggin&Scott Sunshine Result Sold!!Sold!!Sold!!286 Glengala Rd Sunshine West $681,000 Very Happy Vendor Buyers with Auctioneer Frank Forti & selling Agent Minh Vu

16.01.2022 Warm wishes on Australia Day to you. Let us celebrate this special day with special people to create some special memories for life.

16.01.2022 Over the first three weekends of August the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) recorded more than 503 online auctions. 223 properties were sold, with 63 were passed in, 25 on a vendor bid. 150 properties were sold before auction. Available figures show us an auction clearance rate averaged of 84% higher than last month, which was 78.5%. With Stage 4 lockdown during August, Real Estate Agents have had to close their doors. Auctions and inspections have been moved to onli...ne only, conditions never seen in Victoria. Melbourne’s highly resilient property market has adapted to the new conditions quickly. Prices across Melbourne have eased slightly depending on the suburb, but not much. With Auction numbers and available properties reducing due to the Stage 4 Restrictions, some sellers wanting to move quickly during these conditions are still going to market and have adapted to realistic price expectations. Investors are back in the market competing with first home buyers looking for opportunities. Obviously the unsettled market conditions create short term discounting opportunities with private sales, however the lack of stock finds multiple buyers being attracted to properties. If you are a looking to buy right now you will need to make sure you are registered with our team as many properties that have become available during the last fortnight may not be found available on the web. Restrictions around being able to access properties for marketing purposes has resulted in properties being available off market only. In other words, there are properties being sold that you may not have known were available. So, make sure you reach out. At this stage we are expecting momentum to build slowly which will speed up closer to the end of lockdown. Frank Forti - Director PH:0419321816 See more

13.01.2022 A MUST READ INVESTMENT TIP, IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUYING A PROPERTY Many astute investors will keep up to date on the property market in some way or another at least once a week. This could involve watching, researching or reading property news, as well as, regularly monitoring properties that are listed for sale, sold or for rent. We will often look through real estate listings to see what is available, to compare properties and to see what the market is doing. And t...hen, out of nowhere you spot a property of interest. It may be your dream home, an investment bargain, the ideal location or simply a property that you have been looking for, for ages. You get excited, you want it, you call the agent to inspect the property you sign the contract and start negotiating, to find out the property seller/owner went with another buyer. Why?... it could be for many reasons that are out of your control, but don’t let it be for a reason that you could have controlled. If you are thinking about buying a property, get ready and prepared now. Check out your credit rating score online, which can impact loan approvals. Take the time to find out what supporting documentation you need to submit with your loan application and make sure you have current copies. Approach a finance broker (who can often provide greater loan options than just one bank) to request a loan pre-approval. During the pre-approval application process the broker will advise you on your loan options: 1. How much you can borrow? 2. How much deposit you will need? 3. What additional costs and expenses will be involved? 4. What you potentially may need to do, prior to being able to purchase a property, giving you time to prepare. A loan pre-approval is usually valid for 90 days. However, if you have submitted a detailed application with supporting documents, most brokers/lenders will extend this quite easily with updated pay slips and other income documents. Get ahead of the game don’t be disappointed. Find out now how much you can borrow, as it will cost you nothing, but your time and then you will be ready and more confident to buy your next property of interest. See more

04.01.2022 Bear market during May: Over the 5 weekends of May, the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) recorded more than 602 auctions. 247 properties were sold at auction, with 114 passed in. 41 on a vendor bid. 150 properties were sold before auction. The clearance rate over the last two weekends averaged 76%. Off market sales account for approximately 30-40% of sales across the market with owners looking for ways to save on advertising cost. Public auction numbers: Demand was h...igh through May with agents reporting strong buyer competition for private sales and at auctions, with high numbers of registered and active bidders. Confidence is firming again with public auctions and open-for-inspections now increased to a 20-person limit (plus agents and owners). Competition: Reported auction numbers ramped up consistently over the month from 98 on the first weekend to 163 on the final weekend - nearly doubling. We started this year with limited supply, which was reduced again in March and April by Covid-19. But transaction activity is rising again, and vendors enjoy little competition from other sellers. Any home for sale is primed to get more attention in a short period of time with buyers ready to purchase. As a group, we sold 111 properties during this period. Government wage-subsidy and stimulus packages, plus mortgage holidays from the banks have bolstered the economy and helped keep house values solid. Property market analysts CoreLogic report an easing of national home values by -0.4% in May, and -0.6% across the middle of the Melbourne market. Some rental values have been dampened largely by a rush of Airbnb vacant properties hitting the market and young Australians moving back in with their parents during the period. We expect things to level out as each month restrictions are lifted slowly returning to normal. With the government soon to announce further stimulus for the property sector as restrictions are slowing wound back things are about to get busy. Frank Forti - Director Ph:0419 321 816 See more

04.01.2022 With all the current confusion around who can do what and where, the market is presenting opportunities for sellers and buyers. Buyers By being clear about what you are looking for and pre-qualifying yourself by driving past a property,... checking the location and property, as well as having finance in place will put you in the position of being able to make an offer quick which is extremely positive for sellers who also want to transact quickly. Sellers Your safe with Biggin & Scott as we have adapted quickly to how private appointments needs to comply during Covid-19. As we work extremely closely with current potential buyers, we make sure they are ready when the right property presents itself. This market is not a market for waiting, it is a take action type market. If you are serious about buying or selling, please make sure I am aware as our off-market properties has never been stronger and our list of qualified buyers ready to purchase is just as strong.
