From 1 October 2026, Victorian real estate agents will face new obligations when selling residential property by auction or fixed-date sale.
The key change is straightforward: the seller’s reserve price must be disclosed publicly at least seven days before the auction or fixed-date sale.

Walking into an open home in Chelsea Heights or Bonbeach on a crisp Saturday morning is a familiar ritual. You grab a brochure, sign the register, and begin the mental process of figuring out if this house could be your house.

If you’ve been watching the data lately, you’ll notice a pattern. Smart buyers are starting to take notice of what we call the "Lifestyle Triangle": that sweet spot where the sand meets the wetlands, and where value still outpaces the prestige price tags of its neighbors. Sometimes the best opportunities emerge not during the peak frenzy, but in the thoughtful...
The whispers are getting louder across the breakfast tables of Chelsea Heights and the cafes of Bonbeach: finding a rental home in 2026 is no longer a simple transaction.

If you’ve been feeling the squeeze of the Melbourne rental market, you’re not alone. But here’s the insider perspective: the best opportunities often emerge not during the peak frenzy, but for those who understand the quiet shifts in how property managers evaluate...
The whispers are getting louder across the Bayside property market lately: smart sellers are starting to realise that the "she'll be right" attitude toward home maintenance just isn't cutting it in 2026. Whether you are looking to upgrade near the pristine sands of Bonbeach or downsizing closer to the action in Carrum, the way you present your property is currently the difference between a record-breaking result and a listing that languishes on the market for months.
At Property One, we’ve seen it all. We’ve watched homes on streets like Kalimna in Carrum fly off the shelf...
The whispers are getting louder across the breakfast tables of Bayside and the boardrooms of the CBD.
