A savvy first-homebuyer has secured the “cheapest ticket” into one of Melbourne’s most elite streets

Five buyers. Tight competition. Negotiated under pressure and pushed well beyond the range. What started as an entry point quickly turned into a statement result, showing exactly how far buyers will go to secure blue chip positioning.

At the 99A Vine Street, Moonee Ponds auction, we didn’t just sell a home — we turned it into a romantic rendezvous with real estate. As bidding heated up, our team handed out roses to the crowd, adding a little Valentine’s flair to a big result. SOLD for $1,390,000.
