Best Real Estate Agent in Leichhardt

Little Italy's long-term residents

Leichhardt's Italian history still shapes Norton Street, where the Italian Forum and a handful of long-running cafés sit among newer restaurants. Head north and the suburb runs down to the Bay Run along Iron Cove, which on a weekend morning seems to hold half of the Inner West.

The housing is a mix of Victorian and Federation houses, workers' cottages, Californian bungalows and apartments, with a larger share of freestanding homes than many suburbs closer to the city. Ramon Raneal sells across the Inner West for The Agency, including next door in Lilyfield, where his sales include 17 Lonsdale Street.

What buyers pay for

Leichhardt buyers tend to be families and downsizers who have already decided on the area and are choosing between streets. They pay for land, light and a quiet position, and for being close to the Bay Run, Norton Street or a light rail stop.

They discount homes on the busier roads, including Parramatta Road, Balmain Road and Norton Street itself, and properties needing work that has not been reflected in the price. Patient buyers are common here, which rewards accurate pricing from the start.

How Ramon runs a campaign

Ramon prices Leichhardt homes against comparable sales in Leichhardt, Lilyfield and Annandale, because buyers move freely between them. He handles every negotiation personally and gives vendors honest feedback throughout the campaign.

Some Leichhardt homes, particularly family houses on good streets, suit auction. Others are better sold by private treaty or quietly off-market. Ramon will recommend an approach once he has seen the property.

Questions Leichhardt sellers ask

How much is my Leichhardt home worth?

That depends on the street, the size of the block, the condition of the home and recent sales nearby. Ramon will give you a written price range based on sales that genuinely compare.

Does being near the Bay Run add value?

For many buyers, yes. Homes within an easy walk of Iron Cove and the Bay Run are consistently in demand, particularly with families.

Do you sell apartments as well as houses?

Yes. Ramon sells houses, terraces and apartments across the Inner West, and will tailor the campaign to the type of property and its likely buyers.
