18 Talbot Road, Strathmore VIC 3041

Built brand new | auction date fixed | zoning premium clear | no heritage controls The property carries both the premium and risk of a newly constructed home. Buying brand new often means paying a constructor’s margin embedded in the price before the property has established its own market proof. However here the land component dominates at 571 square metres. That lot size is the core commercial logic: a rare large block in a school catchment area with no overlay restrictions. For a buyer the value lies in holding the land and treating the house as collateral. This property is best used as a family home with future subdivision optionality baked in. Four comparable properties researched show a median price of 945 thousand for three bedroom houses on similar land within five hundred metres. This property commands a premium for being new and for its Art Deco inspired facade and north facing terrace which are genuinely scarce features in this pocket. It suits the buyer who wants a move in ready home with strong school access and does not mind paying the premium for contemporary finishes over a renovation project. Strathmore properties near the secondary college have historically held value during market corrections. The closing window before auction is the negotiating advantage for a serious buyer to act now before the competitive bidding process resets the floor.
