Glen Iris Property Market Insights

Glen Iris stands out in 2026 because it’s one of the few inner-eastern suburbs showing positive house price growth. With a clearance rate of 66.7% and houses averaging just 37 days on market, competition is real. Buyers need to be prepared, pre-approved, and clear on their brief before engaging — hesitation costs you in this suburb. The unit market is more accessible but also more variable in quality; we assess every block individually.

A Recent Glen Iris Buyers Agent Success Story

We helped an investor secure a quality family home in Glen Iris for just under $1.9 million. The opportunity came through a strong relationship with the selling agent, which gave us insight into the vendor’s circumstances and priorities. Understanding the seller’s position let us shape a strategy that met their needs while protecting our client’s interests, the kind of conversation rarely available to the average buyer. The result was a strong purchase with sound long-term fundamentals in one of Melbourne’s most consistent suburbs.

Whether you’re buying or investing in Glen Iris or the wider inner east, our local knowledge and negotiation experience help clients secure opportunities both on and off market.

Have dealt with LP Advisory on many occasion being a real estate agent in the Port Phillip area. I have to say Lou is always extremely easy and no fuss to deal with, always having the best intentions for their clients. Lou recently purchased a property through us pre market in South Melbourne. Within 48 hours, his client had viewed, a building inspection had been conducted and we had negotiated with the owner and come to an agreeable price. Happy clients all round so thank you.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lou on a number of property matters, and one thing that really stands out is the level of care and attention to detail he puts into the property search for his clients. Lou is extremely knowledgeable. He is always asking questions, clarifying details and making sure he has a thorough understanding of the property so he can properly guide and assist his clients. From a conveyancer’s perspective, it’s really lovely to see the amount of care he takes behind the scenes to ensure his clients are making informed decisions and purchasing the right property for them. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely caring buyer’s advocate.

There are not enough superlatives for what a wonderful job Lou and Alana have done. Looking for a home is stressful enough, especially when you add in the fact I am move interstate, however the LP Advisory team took all the difficult work out of it. I am extremely happy with the service and care I have received, which obviously ranged from sourcing appropriate inspections based on my preferences, then through going to them, giving me amazing advice and suggestions. They are both very professional, very kind and very efficient. Thank you both so very much. I am beyond appreciative and I could not recommend their services enough. If anyone is looking, please look into Lou and Alana. Thanks :)

I could not recommend Lou, Alana and the LP Advisory Team more highly. They are absolutely the real deal in terms of their local knowledge, price guidance and relationships - it is almost an unfair advantage if you have them on your team. I recently was able to purchase a home far better than anything I would have dreamed of due to the strength of their relationships and negotiating advice. At no point did I ever feel pressured to look at homes which I felt were off brief - they would send me video tours of homes before I even stepped in to make sure that it was only for the highest and best potential homes that I was investing my time. I wasn't fighting with the regular weekend crowds but had the opportunity to view when it suited me. And more than that, I was able to be candid and open in my feedback which was clearly taken back on board and reflected back in the shortlist that was presented back to me. As a business owner making a significant purchase, their commercial nous was unbelievable as was their integrity (they earned their fee four times over) and I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with them. I was actually recommended them by one of the local Port Melbourne/Albert Park agents who probably regrets introducing us now!

Lou and Alana were absolutely brilliant. Our son lives interstate and we were unfamiliar with local areas in Victoria. Both Lou and Alana were so prompt in returning answers to our questions. Building and pest inspection as well as conveyancing was organised by the team. Dealing with the Vendors agent was done by Lou all the while checking back with us before any action was taken. We flew down and loved the choice. Everything from that moment was completed in two weeks without any problems at all. Our son will now be moving to Victoria thanks to the help of Lou and Alana. Importantly apart from their professional expertise both Lou and Alana are really lovely lovely people. I could not recommend them more highly. Do yourselves a favour and use LP Advisory, you will not regret your decision. Janet and Owen Free.

Lou and Alana were absolutely outstanding throughout our entire home buying journey. From organising inspections and accommodating our many (often high maintenance!) requests, right through to making offers, coordinating conveyancing and settlement, they made every step feel seamless. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Their communication was excellent, they were incredibly professional, and they were genuinely lovely people to work with. We always felt supported, well informed and confident that they had our best interests at heart. Buying a home can be stressful, but Lou and Alana made the experience so much easier. I couldn’t recommend them more highly to anyone looking for buyer advocates who are knowledgeable, responsive and truly committed to their clients.

How we can help

We act for owner occupiers buying a home to live in, as well as first home buyers, families upsizing, downsizers and property investors.

Some homes change hands before they are ever advertised, so we search off-market property as well as listings. If it goes to auction, we can bid for you. Not sure about the building? Start with a pre-purchase property report.

Moving from interstate or overseas? We run the search and inspections for buyers who are not in Melbourne. Buying for business or super? See our commercial property buyers advocate service.
