Selling Premium Properties
What an incredible Autumn we’ve had across the region! Glorious weather has brought a wonderful energy to the property market— although we’re certainly keeping an eye on the skies in hope of some much-needed rain.
We’ve experienced some strong results across the region, demonstrating solid demand and continued confidence in the local market. The recent interest rate reduction has further boosted sentiment, and with more cuts forecast, we’re anticipating a buoyant Winter leading into a thriving Spring.
At McQueen Real Estate, we’re proud to be leading the way in marketing and selling some of the region’s most prestigious homes and unique properties. A standout achievement this Autumn was the successful sale of the historic Old Castlemaine Gaol, following an extensive campaign to find the right custodian for such an iconic site.
We currently have several premium properties under offer, reinforcing the continued strength and resilience of the top end of the market. In addition, there is excellent value to be found right now, ahead of the anticipated uptick in buyer activity and prices following any further rate cuts. If you’re considering buying or selling, now is a fantastic time to make your move. On the following pages, you’ll find a small selection of properties we’ve recently sold and currently have available. To explore our full portfolio, simply scan the QR code provided.
Here’s to an exciting season ahead!
