Stock levels continue to be a focal point in all sectors of the market, right along the coast and Hinterland! Interesting to note that there are currently only two houses available for sale in Lorne, with one due to be auctioned on the 28^th of August. The marketplace has changed and you will see adaptive methods of sale changing to auction campaigns either public or online and expression of interest campaigns the new normal. I understand property owners hesitance to sell, on the plus side they will sell at a premium the other side of the coin, they relinquish their escape, their easy holiday option.

Our office had a morning tea yesterday to raise money for the RSPCA, a great opportunity to have an all-day graze on such tasty morsels such as our resident accommodation guru and cake maker Rose’s lemon tart and admin legend Kerry’s Thai chicken sausage rolls.
