Stone Property News.

Featuring Millfield, Paxton, Ellalong, Congewai, Quorrobolong & Surrounding Areas

137 Dry Creek Road, Ellalong Welcome to the 7th edition of the Stone Property News and the first for 2019. This edition we feature an amazing 40 ha property at 137 Dry Creek Road, Ellalong (pictured above) along with some of our new listings and a recap of our sales and reviews from our clients for 2018.

Since the Banking Royal Commission, we have seen a reduction in the number of buyers in the market place but we also have seen a significant reduction in the number of properties coming onto the market compared to the same time last year. Reduced properties on the market means there is still some competition between buyers for the available properties.

If you are wanting to know what your property is worth in our current market please feel free to contact me for an honest opinion of the value of your home.

2018 Sales Report

8 Glennie Street, Ellalong - $545,000 Vendor Review - An agent who gets results - 13 April 2018 “I had my property listed with another agent for 3 months. During this time nothing happened. The only contact I had with this agent was for him to phone and suggest I drop the price of my property. I then listed my property with Michael at Stone Real Estate. The first week there was an “Open House’ and I had several potential buyers inspecting my property. Michael and his team even came with a whipper snipper, brooms and brute force, tidied up the lawns and shifted some of my furniture into the shed. My house is now sold and I got my asking price. I would recommend Michael and his team at Stone Real Estate Cessnock if you want results, and an enthusiastic team who go out of their way to help you.”

9 Bennett Street, Millfield - $385,000 Vendor Review - A Genuine and Professional Agent - 14 July 2018 “If you are looking for an agent who genuinely works in your best interest then don’t go past Michael Hurley from Stone Real Estate. We have found with all dealings with Michael his knowledge of the local area together with his nothing is too much trouble attitude works for both buyers and sellers. The recent sale of our property was once again made easy by Michael’s help and assistance and we achieved a great result. A big thank you to both Michael, Matt and the Stone Real Estate team.”
