Block judge Marty Fox lists $13m Toorak mansion after baring backside in viral post
The Block judge Marty Fox has gone the full monty in Toorak, baring his backside in a cheeky Instagram post to help sell his own $13m designer digs. The Whitefox founder and luxury property specialist used the stripped-back post to prove a point about the home's complete privacy, and launched one of the most headline-grabbing listings in Toorak's recent memory. 'You can walk out into the yard here and you are in the middle of the best urban postcode Australia has to offer,' the post read. 'Yet, not a single person can look at you if you decide to walk the entire property from front to back in the nude.' Now for sale with a $12m-$13m price guide, the renovated five-bedroom estate occupies more than 1400sq m across a merged double block between Toorak and Hawksburn villages. Fox and his wife Charlotte purchased the home in 2021 and began renovating it before settlement under a licence to occupy. The couple moved in the day before Charlotte gave birth to their third child, Bonnie. Six months later, the pair bought the neighbouring property at the rear and joined the two blocks, creating one of the suburb's most complete lifestyle estates — combining urban seclusion with resort-grade features. Originally built in the 1890s, the home was reimagined under the direction of Castley McCrimmon Architects and built by DOME, with interior finishes hand-picked to reflect the couple's timeless design philosophy. Full-slab Italian marble has been used throughout, alongside Murano glass chandeliers, Venetian plaster walls, Perrin & Rowe tapware, chevron oak floors and antique light fittings sourced by Charlotte in Europe. Landscaping by Nathan Burkett frames the home's rear garden, which includes a heated pool, gym cabana with ensuite, wellness deck with sauna and ice bath, and a pickleball court. The garden has been described in marketing as 'Front Garden of the Year material'. The home is being listed by Whitefox Stonnington director Lana Samuels, a prestige agent and social media influencer known for her reach and local buyer network. Listing material calls the property 'a landmark single-level sanctuary' and 'a once-in-a-generation opportunity' to secure a luxury home of this scale and quality in the heart of Melbourne's most exclusive postcode. Fox has described it as the couple's most personal project yet, and one that became the backdrop to milestone family and business moments — including the conversation that led to his appointment on The Block. Expressions of interest close at 3pm on Tuesday, June 24.

The vine-covered cottage nestled in a picturesque valley that could be YOURS for a very affordable price
City-dwellers fantasising about escaping the rat race for the countryside have been left shocked by the price of a quaint Aussie cottage. The bite-sized home in Birralee in the whimsically named Meander Valley in Northern Tasmania is accepting starting offers of $335,000. 'Immerse yourself in the serene ambiance of the countryside, listen to the native birds and wildlife, and soak in the peace and quiet,' the listing reads. 'Experience the joys of rural living while still being conveniently located near local amenities. The property offers easy access to roads, ensuring a seamless connection to nearby towns and services.' The duck-egg blue cottage is only minutes away from a five-star bakery in nearby Exeter and is a 40-minute drive from Launceston. The home is draped in flowering vines and surrounded by a prim garden and acres of forest described as a 'canvas' for its future owner's dream home. The listing quickly went viral online with one Aussie commenting: 'That's it. I am moving to Tassie. This would be perfect for me'. 'I think I found our forever home. Close to Exeter Bakery,' a second wrote. 'Tassie? A little cottage? Needs some work but very cute,' a third said. 'One more inconvenience and I'm running away to Tassie. This property looks beautiful,' a fourth agreed. However, not everyone shared the vision. 'So the house is, a garden shed?' one wrote. 'Too expensive,' another said. 'I love it when people see a house on the internet or some real estate's website and decide to buy only to find out it needs a lot of work,' a third realist wrote. The home does not contain a bathroom and is not a class 1A Building, meaning it is not suitable for living. However, some viewers noticed the value of the property lay in its 25acre footprint. One woman offered her friend, 'wanna move to Tassie lol cabin can be the first house and you build your dream one on 25acres'. The listing said the Ginns Road property contained several desirable attributes. 'Rural Living zoning (Meander Valley Council); Natural spring fed dam; Natural seasonal creek,' it said. 'Mix of cleared land and bush; Gravel driveway; Three water tanks.' The 'fully fenced' established permaculture garden with fruit and vegetable trees was also considered a major drawcard. 'This versatile land is perfect for a variety of uses, whether you envision a charming cottage, a spacious family home, or a cozy hut nestled among the trees. The possibilities are endless!' potential buyers were told.

As real estate listings become more private, Zillow fights back
A battle over how homeowners list their properties for sale is shaking up the housing industry, with big implications for sellers and buyers. On April 10, the massive real estate company Zillow announced it would not accept any listings that have been previously offered for sale in a selective manner, a direct response to a step from an industry group that many observers felt limited choice in the marketplace. In March, as USA TODAY previously reported, the National Association of Realtors set out new guidelines for how seller listings can be shared. The group clarified that real estate brokerages can continue to share listings among agents at the brokerage, as has long been the case. But it also offered sellers a new option: delaying disseminating a listing beyond the multiple listing service databases once it is posted there. Supporters of the 'delayed marketing exempt listing' option say it gives sellers an opportunity to test the waters of the market before committing to advertising a property more broadly. But detractors disagree, arguing that it makes the marketplace more fragmented, inefficient, and potentially discriminatory. More: Residential real estate was confronting a racist past. Then came the commission lawsuits In early April, Zillow flexed its muscle. 'We believe a listing available online anywhere consumers can see it must be online everywhere listings are displayed,' the company said in a statement. Zillow acknowledges that various brokerages have their own web-based marketplaces, both internal and external-facing, which may defy easy categorization, but says the spirit of its policy holds: as soon as a listing is shared with a consumer – whether on a brokerage's own website, via a lawn sign or social media, or in any other method – it must be shared with the local multiple listing service within one business day or forfeit the opportunity to be shared on Zillow, ever. The qualification about being accessible to consumers is important because there are reasons when sellers might want privacy, rather than broad exposure. That can be achieved by allowing real estate agents to market properties among themselves, as they have long done. Zillow's step matters: the company is the 800-pound gorilla in residential real estate. According to a February investor presentation, 80% of consumers come directly to Zillow. Among users of listings apps, Zillow commands 64% of all traffic, more than four times its closest competitor, Not everyone is cheering. 'Portals should remain neutral,' said Andy Florance, founder and CEO of the parent company of a smaller residential marketplace, in April 14 comments shared by a spokesperson. 'Zillow is asserting that they, not NAR, not your brokerage, not you the listing agent ‒ and not even the homeowner whose house it is and is paying the commission ‒ should decide how a listing is marketed,' Florance added. 'This isn't about protecting consumers ‒ it's about protecting Zillow's ability to profit from listings by selling leads to competing agents.' Zillow does benefit from consumer traffic to its website, including by selling customer leads and ad space, and also offering house hunters various additional services such as mortgages. But many consumer advocates and industry participants say it's still a step in the right direction, toward a more cohesive and transparent marketplace of listings. "We encourage all brokers to support Zillow's efforts to maintain the transparency of real estate markets and prevent their balkanization,' said Stephen Brobeck, a senior fellow with the Consumer Policy Center. And Summer Goralik, an independent real estate compliance consultant, called the step 'significant' and 'bold.' 'While the industry looked to NAR or the DOJ for direction on listings, Zillow stepped in, took a stand, and seized control of the narrative,' Goralik told USA TODAY. Most industry participants note that NAR's March policy was crafted in response to lobbying from a few large national brokerages, including Compass. Compass declined to comment for this story, but previously told USA TODAY that "sellers need more options and flexibility in how they market their homes."
