We found a GOLDMINE site in Doncaster East—725sqm, prime school zone, no overlays. It was an absolute ripper… but we walked away with $1.58M. Was it the right call?

Not every auction ends with a win, but sometimes, walking away is the smartest move. This was a cracking site in Doncaster East, 725sqm, prime school zone, no overlays, and ready to roll. But we had to make the tough call when the bidding hit $1.58M.
