@ Real Estate have sold blocks quickly and for good money. All these properties had some things in common;

  • Amazing views or outlooks
  • Priced accordingly.  

A block of land is still a big asset, so why not promote a block of land for sale (more like a house) and give it the attention it deserves.
Think about who are you marketing to?
Remember that half of our buyers are not local.

  • Try photos at sun set or sun rise ($180).
  • Video – showing the land, view and lifestyle the block/suburb will provide ($220). Showing off the block as a quality location.
  • New photos or video would take it to the next level and show better value for money.
