Reservoir

A Large, Active Market

Reservoir's mix of original homes, townhouses and accessible price points keeps it one of the more active northern markets this month. First home buyers and investors are drawn by the value and the improving amenity around the station precincts.

The market is measured. Buyers are doing their due diligence and making considered offers in line with recent sales, so realistic pricing converts interest into results. Original homes on good blocks and new townhouses are both seeing interest.

Owners who present their homes well and price to recent comparable sales are achieving results. In a considered market, the well-prepared home finds its buyer.
