Ex-AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou and former Carlton star Brendan Fevola are facing delayed property deals after their homes failed to sell before campaign deadlines ended this week.

In May, Demetriou and his wife Symone Richards put their six-bedroom Toorak home on the market with a $15m-$16.5m guide.

The price tag for their circa-1930s home at 5 Tyalla Cres, featuring a pool and six-car basement garage, has since been lowered to $14.5m-$15.5m.

Expressions of interest for the 1066sq m property closed on Tuesday afternoon.

Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty managing director Antoinette Nido declined to comment but the abode was still listed for sale as of yesterday.

However, it’s common for negotiations at Melbourne real estate’s top end to take a week or more to officially wrap up.

Demetriou served as the AFL’s CEO for more than a decade, up until 2014.

Among other roles, he is now consultancy firm Sports Advisory Partners’ board chair and has established a private members’ club, Sanctum, based at an East Melbourne hotel.

In Melbourne’s bayside area, Fevola and his partner Alex are preparing to farewell their Hampton house.

The couple listed their renovated five-bedroom pad with a $4.1m-$4.51m range in August.

Fevola, who played for both Carlton and the Brisbane Lions, has been a co-host on Fox FM’s breakfast radio show since 2016.

He’s currently on air alongside fellow Fifi, Fev & Nick presenters Fifi Box and Nick Cody.

As well, Fevola and his teenage daughter Leni will appear on the new season of Channel 10’s The Amazing Race Australia, starting on September 8.

Since buying in 2021, Fev and Alex have significantly updated their Edwardian-era residence.

One of the living areas has an original fireplace and a high ceiling fitted with clerestory windows and pressed metal.

Fredman’s Sarah Korbel said the agency was “working with a few buyers on the property”.

The expressions of interest process, which was due to close this week, has been extended until 5pm on September 8.

Expressions of interest were due to close on Thursday but have been extended to 3pm on October 14 through Rendina Real Estate director Lou Rendina.
