The Block 2018: Kerrie and Spence's apartment tops online listing views

While the ultimate winners of The Block 2018 are yet to be declared – at least until the auction at The Gatwick on October 27 – Kerrie and Spence’s apartment is winning in the popularity stakes.

A count of The Block listing views on Domain (as of October 13) shows that the South Australian’s apartment has had more than 240,000 since it was first listed on August 27.

The next closest has been the apartment of Queenslanders Norm and Jess, whose penthouse apartment has had just over 204,000 views.

The apartment of West Australians Courtney and Hans has had the least number of views, but has still managed to get more than 165,000 people checking it out online. As an aside, their apartment is also being listed with the lowest price, starting at $2.2 million.

Not surprisingly, Kerrie and Spence’s apartment has also scored winning numbers on Domain’s Facebook and Instagram. They share the lead with Bianca and Carla on Twitter.

While Courtney and Hans were the least popular in terms of online views, the couple have had the most popular apartment on Domain’s Pinterest account, edging ahead of Kerrie and Spence.

Kerrie and Spence’s agent, Hocking Stuart’s Emily Adams, said she’s not surprised by the popularity of the apartment at 1/34 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda, which has a price range of between $2.5 and $2.7 million.

“I think Kerrie and Spence’s apartment is sensational – it’s the best in The Block in my opinion,” Ms Adams said.

Ms Adams, who may be just a little biased on behalf of her clients, has been involved in three different series of The Block. She said Kerrie and Spence’s apartment has been her all-time favourite of all the seasons she has worked on.

“It’s one of the largest apartments, with a large study and separate laundry, and all of the bedrooms are larger than the apartments above it,” Ms Adams said.

She said the couple’s kitchen was proving to be a big drawcard for buyers with a layout that was perfect for cooking and entertaining at the same time.

“It’s these key areas people seem to love,” Ms Adams said.

Hocking Stuart has so far had hundreds of enquiries for Kerrie and Spence’s apartment, with some potential buyers coming back for three of four inspections.

“We’re as prepared as we can be,” Ms Adams said. ”Come auction day it’s up to [the people who viewed the property] to put their hands up and bid.

The Gatwick apartments will go under the hammer on Saturday, October 27 with the winners revealed on the following night’s edition of The Block.
