The Block judge Marty Fox has revealed he thinks Blockheads Steph and Gian will be ‘hard to beat’ at this season’s auctions, which are set to take place this weekend.
Marty told TV Week magazine he believes the winner will be a toss-up between Steph and Gian and Eliza and Liberty.
‘Based on land size, northern orientation and the results of winning rooms, the clear frontrunners would be Houses 4 [Steph and Gian], and 5 [Eliza and Liberty],’ he explained.
However, Marty said any of the homes could smash price records in the inner Melbourne suburb.
‘I believe any of the homes this season could smash the suburb record in Hampton East [15km from the CBD in Melbourne’s East], which is in the early $3m range.’
