According to realestate.com.au<\/a> The Block<\/a> looks set to return to Melbourne\u2019s Bayside for its next season, after settling on the sales of five classic brick houses in Hampton East.<\/p>\n

Homes at No. 14, 16, 18, 20 and 22 on the marketable Charming St sold to Channel 9 owned company Micjoy Pty Ltd between June 29 and July 1.<\/p>\n

The neighbouring properties are three or four-bedroom homes, aside from No. 16, which is two, and are on blocks ranging from 575sq m to 703sq m.<\/p>\n

No. 14 Charming St, Hampton East, sold for $3m.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

A combined $14.3m was splashed on the sites, just in towards the bay from where the Nepean Highway and South Rd intersect behind Moorabbin Station.<\/p>\n

Buyers agent and The Block regular Nicole Jacobs said it will make the next season of the show \u2018a lot easier\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bringing it back to a neighbourhood format, and it\u2019s going to be a lot easier than Gisborne,\u201d Ms Jacobs said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Hampton East is the poor cousin of Hampton, it\u2019s starting to really take off.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s good infrastructure around there with parks, Moorabbin station and a large Woolworths.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a happy little pocket and there are some lovely established homes. Charming St is a great street, I think it will be more manageable and achievable for buyers to think about buying in that pocket and it will pick up that whole area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacobs, who\u00a0sold her own Hampton house to The Block\u00a0for the 2021 season, said the Hampton East series won\u2019t be the same as that season due to a number of factors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be different (than last time) because Charming St is a street not a cul-de-sac, so you could probably liken it to the row of houses in Elsternwick on Regent St,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHampton is still a beachside suburb and it\u2019s on the right side of the Nepean highway \u2026 it\u2019s definitely a family-friendly suburb so I expect (the show) will bring families to the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The juggernaut show is currently airing its\u00a0Gisborne Tree Change\u00a0season, which Jacobs described as \u2018a mammoth undertaking\u2019.<\/p>\n
