Where we are.
Where we're going.

One sold at launch. The build is underway. The next three sales follow the construction — each phase of the site gives us a new reason to put a buyer in front of a contract.

Campaign Messaging

The message shifts
as the build moves.

Eight months of construction gives us eight months of content. Every stage of the site is a new headline. Click any phase to expand.

01Now → Month 2

It's underway.

The ground is broken. Buyers who've been sitting on the fence can see the site is real. That's the message — show them it's happening.

How we do itSite progress photography from month one. REA live at $4k/month. EDM to both databases within the first week. Letterbox drop 5–7km radius. The hoarding does the street work — we do the digital work.
+
02By End April

Last chance to customise.

Buyers who want any say in their finishes need to move in the next few weeks. That window is real — and we use it. It's the most honest urgency lever in the campaign.

How we do itEDM: "Customisations close soon — this is your last chance to personalise." Social running from day one at $2.5k/month. Finishes and build quality front and centre. Low deposit structure highlighted — reduce the friction, shorten the decision.
+
03Month 4 – 7

Come and see it.

We start walking qualified buyers through. When they can physically stand inside the home and feel the ceiling height, the size of the kitchen, the quiet of the street — that's when hesitation ends.

How we do itPrivate walkthrough invitations to warm leads. Video tours via EDM for buyers who are interstate or haven't made it out yet. "Completion on track — Q4 2025" across all channels. Certainty is the message.
+
04Month 7 – 10

One left.

Three sold. One home remaining. That's a different conversation — and an easier one. Scarcity is real, the product is finished, and the buyer walking through knows they're the last one in.

How we do itAll channels pivot to "final home" messaging. Full site walkthrough available. Settlement-ready framing removes the last objection. REA + social + EDM blitz. Aim to have this sold 4–6 weeks before practical completion.

Who We're Selling To

The buyer is
already close.

Every dollar works harder when we know exactly who we're talking to. Four profiles — one primary, three worth knowing.

The Local Downsizer

55–70 · Primary Target · Primary Spend

They already live within 5–7km. The family home is too big — but they won't leave the neighbourhood they've been in for 25 years. They want something new, low maintenance, and in the same pocket.

Four bedrooms matters here. Grandkids need somewhere to stay. And at this price point, they're not stretching — they're trading equity into quality.

Local Loyalty4BR RequiredEquity-RichLock Up & LeaveQuality Over Size

The Inner East Upsizer

38–50 · Secondary Target

Coming from a 3-bed in Hawthorn, Surrey Hills or Malvern. They've been watching Ashburton — they know what it represents. A brand-new 4-bedroom townhome at this level is the move they've been building toward.

Build quality matters. So does the developer's track record. They respond to certainty — fixed price, known completion, new home warranty.

Suburb AwareQuality DrivenInner EastMoving Up

The Divorcee

42–58 · Often Overlooked — Often Buying

Settled, capital in hand, needs to re-establish quickly and cleanly in a suburb they know. A brand-new 4-bedroom townhome doesn't feel like a compromise — it feels like a reset.

Decisive buyers. They move faster than most. They're not looking to negotiate endlessly — they want the right product and they want to get it done.

Moves QuicklyCapital ReadyLocal Re-plantLow Friction

The Returning Local

40–55 · Interstate or Expat Return

Been away — interstate or overseas. Knows the inner east. Wants to re-enter Melbourne with something new, no renovation risk, in a suburb with solid long-term fundamentals.

Digital-first in their search. REA, social and our EDMs are how they find us. A strong walkthrough offer converts enquiry to contract for this cohort.

REA & SocialMarket LiterateNo Reno RiskWalkthrough Converts

Young / Growing Families

33–44 · Tertiary — We'll See Them, We Won't Chase Them

We'll get enquiry here. The 4-bedroom layout, the school proximity, the new build — it stacks up on paper. But at this bracket, families are usually weighing a townhome against an older house on a proper block, and the yard wins more often than not.

Where we're competitive: no maintenance, brand new, nothing to touch for a decade. If they come through, we qualify hard and convert where we can. We just don't point our media budget their way first.

Sequence of Events

How it plays
out.

From launch to sold out in under ten months. Each step builds on the last.

Now — Live

Hoarding up. TH1 sold. REA live.

The site is activated. REA Premier listing is running at $4k/month. First EDM goes out to both databases this week. Letterbox drop covers the 5–7km radius in the same window.

Weeks 2–4

Customisations close. Final window.

Buyers who want a say in their finishes have until end of April. Social has been running since day one. EDM goes out this week: last chance to personalise before selections lock.

By June

TH2 sold.

Customisations are locked. Buyers can see the construction moving. The urgency now is simple — three homes remain and interest is building.

Aug – Sept

Walkthroughs. TH3 done.

We start walking qualified buyers through the site. Seeing the space — the ceiling height, the kitchen scale, the street — closes deals that phone calls don't. TH3 is our walkthrough conversion target.

November — Pre-Completion

Four sold. Before settlement.

The finished product does the last bit of selling. TH4 closes on the strength of what buyers can physically see. All four in contract before practical completion.

In the unlikely event one home remains at completion, we flip to auction — targeting the spring market where conditions and competition typically work in our favour.
