SOLD: What It Took to Sell 30 Kidman Street, Across from TAS

Blog: SOLD: What It Took to Sell 30 Kidman Street, Across from TAS

If you own a home on the South Side and you're weighing up whether to sell, this is what a proper campaign looks like, and what it delivers.

The Result

30 Kidman Street sold for $766,100. Under contract in under three weeks. Here's what drove that:

  • 28,419 campaign exposures across realestate.com.au and beyond
  • 715 listing views
  • 59 saves
  • 18 enquiries, 8 by email, 10 by phone or SMS
  • 6,063 people notified through saved search alerts and targeted buyer outreach

Search results drove 59 percent of all views. That's buyers actively hunting, not stumbling onto a listing by chance.

The campaign finished with two competing written offers on the table. Competition set the price, not negotiation from a single buyer.

Photography, video, floorplans, and direct outreach to a buyer database, all pointed at one goal: get the right buyer through the door fast, and get the best price the market will pay.

Why the Market Is Working in Your Favour Right Now

If you own property on the South Side, the numbers back a decision to sell now.

Total housing inventory across White Rock sits at 2.75 months. Stock on market for detached houses is 0.23 percent. Only 14 houses are currently listed for sale in the entire suburb.

The median house value has climbed to $700,136, with growth of 20 to 21 percent over the past twelve months. Homes are averaging around 31 days on market. Vendor discounting has been shrinking steadily for two years straight, meaning sellers hold their price and buyers meet it.

Recent comparable sales show where the market is landing:

 

  • 11 Hopkins Street, $750,000, 4/2/2, 642m²
  • 18 Lowanna Close, $790,000, 4/2/2, 809m²
  • 2 Bronson Street, $821,000, 4/2/2, 702m²
  • 19 Disney Street, $790,000, 3/2/2, 600m²

Add in public investment landing across the corridor, the Mount Peter Priority Development Area, and council budget spend on roads and community facilities right through White Rock. Low stock and rising demand, backed by real infrastructure dollars, not hype.
