A three-bedroom house in Kelmscott sold for $756,000 in seven days after Carol Tuckett of Sherlock Homes Group deployed in-house drone photography and a vendor-led presentation strategy.
A three-bedroom house at 70 Ravenscroft Way sold for $756,000 through private treaty after just seven days on the market, driven by strategic property presentation and in-house production capability.
Carol said the vendors were instrumental in the result, moving out early and arranging professional cleaning to eliminate any presentation barriers.
“They were thrilled to accept the cash offer and the fast settlement—it made the process seamless and reduced the stresses of the property sale.”
Preparation over promotion
Carol’s approach centred on presentation quality rather than extended market exposure. Her team produced drone photography in-house, while Sherlock Homes Group’s renovation division completed minor maintenance work to ensure the property met buyer expectations immediately.
The campaign ran across realestate.com.au and Domain, with the three-bedroom, one-bathroom, two-car-space house attracting a cash buyer within the first week.
“Our in-house renovation team did some small jobs around the home to make sure it was presented at its best,” Carol said.
Market context
The sale came as Kelmscott recorded 28.6% house price growth over the past year – the highest in Perth’s south-east region, according to PropTrack data. The suburb’s median three-bedroom house price now sits at $657,000, with the 70 Ravenscroft Way result landing 15% above that benchmark.
Perth is forecast to lead Australia’s property market in 2026 with price increases of 7–10%, according to realestate.com.au’s Property Outlook Report. Anne Flaherty, senior economist at realestate.com.au, attributed the momentum to population inflows, tight rental conditions, and undersupply.
Carol said vendor commitment to presentation—combined with production capability—allowed the campaign to convert interest into a binding offer quickly.
