Laidlaw compares Melbourne’s auction-centric, four-week campaigns and unconditional buying culture with Perth’s FOMO-driven private treaty environment, explaining how auctions can condition sellers in softer markets but aren’t currently ideal in Perth. They discuss tactics for buying in Melbourne (including post-auction negotiation) and in Mount Hawthorne, where buyers split between entry-level character homes around $1.6–$1.7m and “forever homes” in the high $2m range, often funded by local equity.
