Footy heavyweight Shai Bolton is punting his Carnegie home under the hammer on Saturday, property records reveal.

Originally from Katanning, Western Australia, the forward and midfielder played 135 games for Richmond Tigers from 2017 to 2024.

However, at the end of the season Bolton requested a trade home to Western Australia to play for the Dockers, and signed a five-year deal with the side.

Now, records show the 25-year old is selling his four-bedroom house at 215 Neerim Rd with a $1.9m-$2.05m price tag.

And he’s not the only footy star making moves in the property market.

Former Richmond Football Club great Dustin Martin is also preparing to sell off a number of his Abbotsford commercial properties.

The three-time premiership winner will list 367 Victoria St for sale next week with a $4m-$5m price tag, as well 401-407 Victoria St for upwards of $9m.

This comes as prospective homebuyers giddy up for a quieter weekend of auctions in Victoria following the busiest weekend of the year last week.

PropTrack research shows 502 homes are scheduled to go under the hammer this week, with 477 in Melbourne and 25 in regional Victoria.

Craigieburn is tipped to have the most scheduled auctions with 16, followed by Werribee, 13, and Tarneit, 10.

PropTrack senior economist Anne Flaherty said they’d seen very elevated auction levels all throughout October with the only exception of this weekend due to the Melbourne Cup.

“People are in a rush to sell before Christmas,” Ms Flaherty said.

“Buyers who are looking to get in, now is a fantastic time because there is so many properties on the market at the moment.

“Once we hit mid December, we really see a very strong drop off in the number of homes available property until we get into February.”

Bolton’s home is going to auction at 12pm on Saturday.
