Armadale: Character, convenience and a place to call home

Some suburbs have a way of combining established charm with the convenience of modern living.

Armadale is one of them.

From its beautiful architecture and leafy residential streets to the shops and transport along High Street, there's plenty to appreciate about this part of Melbourne.

For buyers, the key is understanding what matters most to them. A character home on a quiet residential street may offer a very different lifestyle from a property closer to the activity of High Street.

The asking price doesn’t always tell you what a property is worth.

When assessing a property for a client, we look at more than the advertised price.

We consider recent comparable sales, buyer demand, market conditions and the property’s individual features.

Before making an offer, it’s worth asking whether the comparable sales are truly similar and how the property’s condition, layout and location affect its value.

At Inview Property Group, we help Melbourne buyers understand the evidence so they can approach a purchase with confidence.

Good negotiation starts with good preparation.

Inview Property Group together with Marshall White Boroondara proudly introduces 67 Mount Street, Kew – A stylish architect-designed home in the prestigious Sackville Ward. Enjoy light-filled living, a sun-drenched deck and landscaped garden, three bedrooms and a double garage. Ideally located near Kew’s renowned schools, parklands, public transport and vibrant shopping precincts.

For more information please contact Davide Lettieri on 0414 018 707 or Hugo Rouffignac on 0488 665 536.

Some client relationships mean a little extra.

After helping our lovely clients with a previous purchase, we were delighted when they returned to Inview to help them find their next home.

It’s especially rewarding to know they felt confident coming back to us as their family’s needs changed.

And hearing that they’ve recommended us to their friends and family makes it even more meaningful.

Thank you for trusting us again. We’re so pleased to have been part of this next chapter for your family.

Victoria’s property sales rules are changing. What could that mean for buyers and sellers?

From 1 October 2026, new requirements will introduce greater transparency around property pricing, comparable sales and sold prices. For auctions and fixed-date sales, vendors’ reserve prices will need to be published seven days before the sale.

The changes raise some interesting questions.

Could they influence how properties are marketed?
Could they change the way buyers approach off-market opportunities?

Off-market property isn’t disappearing. However, it will be interesting to see whether the balance between public campaigns, pre-market opportunities and private sales changes over time.

For buyers, the key is still to understand the property, assess the evidence behind the price and complete proper due diligence.

In our latest blog, I explain the key changes and what buyers and sellers should be considering.

What makes a suburb somewhere you want to stay for the long term?

For me, Sandringham offers a combination that's hard to overlook.

You have the beach and foreshore, a genuine village centre and direct train access, all within the same suburb. It's a lifestyle that brings together coastal surroundings and the convenience of everyday amenities.

However, finding the right property still comes down to understanding what matters most to you. The location, property type and surrounding streets can all influence how well a home suits your lifestyle.

In our latest Know Your Suburb: The Melbourne Buyer's Local Guide, I share my perspective on Sandringham, alongside a snapshot of the current property market.

A beautiful renovation doesn't always impress us.

It can look fantastic, however we still want to know what sits underneath the surface.

When assessing a renovated property, we look at the quality of the work, compliance, layout, functionality and whether the renovation has added genuine value.

Because beautiful finishes don't automatically make a property a good purchase.

Presentation matters. However, due diligence matters more.

Some purchases are extra special and this one certainly was.

Our lovely repeat clients came back to us to help them find their next home as their family grows.

Having worked with them before, we already understood what was important to them. This time, the brief had evolved — more space for their growing family, while still finding a home and location that suited the way they wanted to live.

We’re so pleased to have helped them secure this beautiful Hampton home and to be part of the next chapter for their family.

Thank you for trusting us again. It means a lot to have clients return to Inview when their property needs change.

Congratulations!

Sometimes it's the everyday things that make a suburb feel like home.

In Bentleigh, you can walk to Centre Road for groceries and coffee, catch the train into the city, enjoy nearby parks and still have established residential streets just minutes from the activity.

That combination of convenience and lifestyle is a big part of what attracts buyers to the area.
