The Mont Albert market what the data shows.
The median house price in Mont Albert, Victoria (postcode 3127) is $2,800,000 for the June 2025 quarter (REIV).
The median unit price is $731,000 for the same period. Cotality data places the median across all transactions at approximately $2.4M.
Mont Albert recorded 68 house sales in the past 12 months, with an auction clearance rate of 69.1% and average days on market of 37 days (Woodards/Cotality 2026).
The suburb is 13 km from the Melbourne CBD.
The 69.1% clearance rate reflects what I see on the ground: a buyer pool that is active and motivated, led by families with a school start date in mind.
The streets that produce the strongest competition Grange Street, Victoria Crescent, and the pockets south of Whitehorse Road in the Box Hill South Primary catchment are still drawing multiple registered bidders.
Properties sitting past 37 days are almost always priced above what comparable sales support. I tell vendors that directly at the appraisal rather than six weeks into a campaign.

The campaign. Start to sold.
25 years of eastern suburbs auction experience, condensed into six steps that consistently produce results.
Street-level appraisal
Every appraisal starts with the last three comparable sales on your specific street not the suburb median. Jeremy knows which blocks command a school catchment premium, which buyer profiles are active right now in each price range, and what preparation work actually moves the needle at auction.
Buyer matching
Before a property goes to public listing, Jeremy matches it against pre-registered buyers he knows are actively searching in that price range and suburb. His database is built from 25 years of eastern suburbs transactions. Several properties sell before auction day because a buyer waiting 12 months gets the first call.
Campaign build
Professional photography, copywriting, and marketing through Fletchers’ in-house team. Live on Domain and realestate.com.au, with digital reach targeted at the most active buyer profile for that price range. Plus The Fletchers Network buyer registrations across 25 offices across Melbourne’s eastern corridor.
Auction conduct
Jeremy is a REIV-accredited auctioneer with 25-plus years on the microphone in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. He manages his own auctions the agent who qualified every buyer and built the entire campaign is the same person running auction day, with full context of every buyer conversation behind them.
Negotiation
Direct and vendor-focused. The goal is always the best achievable result, not the fastest commission. That alignment shows up in the repeat business: several Mont Albert families have sold with Jeremy more than once, on the same streets, across a decade.
After settlement
The relationship doesn’t close at settlement. Jeremy’s Mont Albert and Surrey Hills client history spans multiple transactions per family. Some of his earlier clients’ children have come back for their own first purchases because the advice at every stage of the original campaign proved accurate.
What selling with Jeremy looks like.
Sourced from verified client feedback on ratemyagent.com.au. Suburb-named, attribution-specific.
“Working with Jeremy Desmier and Fletchers on the sale of our Surrey Hills home was an outstanding experience. Jeremy ran a fantastic auction — the result was beyond what we had hoped for.”
“Jeremy provided very clear and helpful advice and gave me great confidence in proceeding with our sale. His support throughout was timely and accurate, everything was managed professionally, and the outcome was excellent.”
“Jeremy’s knowledge and experience in the Balwyn market is second to none. We were thrilled with the price achieved his advice delivered results beyond our expectations.”
“I did not feel that we needed to meet with other agents. He instilled confidence that he was knowledgeable and approachable. I’ve dealt with Fletchers selling three properties and am glad we chose Jeremy each time.”
“Jeremy also ran the auction and did a great job highlighting the property. He has been responsive and candid it was obvious that he is very knowledgeable about the eastern suburbs market.”
“His advice and help leading up to the sale made the process so much easier, and the result was exactly what we had hoped for.”
What 25 years in Mont Albert actually looks like.
School catchment boundaries, streets that carry a premium, buyer types by price range the knowledge that only comes from operating in the same postcodes for decades.
Mont Albert’s school zones are among the strongest drivers of buyer competition in the suburb.
Box Hill South Primary School generates the highest buyer demand properties in its catchment consistently attract more registered auction bidders than comparable properties outside it.
Surrey Hills Primary School catchment covers the western pocket of Mont Albert and affects pricing on relevant streets. Mont Albert Primary School serves the suburb locally, and Koonung Secondary College is within the suburb boundary at secondary level.
In the $3M-plus segment, proximity to Camberwell Grammar, Camberwell Girls Grammar, and Trinity Grammar (Kew) motivates a distinct buyer cohort.
All catchment boundaries are street-specific a difference of one block can materially affect sale price. Jeremy confirms exact boundaries at every appraisal.
- Bounded by Whitehorse Road (north), Canterbury Road (south), Union Road (west), Elgar Road (east) postcode 3127
- Mont Albert train station Belgrave/Lilydale line, approx 25 minutes to the CBD
- Whitehorse Road tram (route 109) access to the CBD and Box Hill
- Eastern Freeway via Elgar Road car commuters to the CBD and inner north
- Box Hill Centro 5 minutes; major retail and hospital precinct, key for buyers over 50
- 13 km from Melbourne CBD inner eastern corridor
- Box Hill South Primary strongest demand driver; catchment properties attract a consistent auction premium
- Surrey Hills Primary catchment extends into the suburb’s western pocket
- Mont Albert Primary local government primary
- Koonung Secondary College government secondary within the suburb boundary
- Private nearby: Camberwell Grammar, Camberwell Girls Grammar, Trinity Grammar (Kew) motivate the $3M-plus cohort
- All boundaries are street-specific confirmed at every appraisal
- Victoria Crescent consistently produces the suburb’s strongest auction results; Edwardian and period homes on larger blocks
- Grange Street strong buyer depth from families in the Box Hill South Primary catchment
- High Street corridor pricing varies significantly by block size and presentation
- Streets south of Whitehorse Road strongest school catchment overlap, most competitive buyer activity
- Mont Albert Road corridor apartments and townhouses at distinct price points, assessed separately
- Dominant: established professional families upgrading from Surrey Hills, Balwyn, or Box Hill school catchment access is the primary driver
- Secondary: downsizers from Balwyn and Canterbury seeking smaller lots in the same social geography
- Investor activity is limited at house price points most transactions are owner-occupier with long hold intentions
- Interstate and international buyers active in the $3M-plus segment
- Demand peaks in autumn (Feb–May) and spring (Aug–Nov) campaigns
- Off-street garaging, renovation potential, and confirmed school catchment are the three most consistent buyer decision factors
