Block host Scott Cam threw away the flannel and tools when he arrived at Melbourne Airport on Thursday.

The 59-year-old opted for a smart-casual look in a dark blue checked sports jacket with a pale pocket square and faded jeans.

Pushing a carry-on bag, the famous tradie looked more like a businessman than someone who has spent his life on construction sites.

Each home has five bedrooms and three bathrooms and is listed with a $4 million to $4.4 million price guide.

Built on 4.04 acres of lots, the homes are likely to hit record-breaking sales for The Block after one home brought in $4.4 million last season.

It is not yet confirmed whether Channel Nine will show off the completed houses before auction day.

The Block has had to cancel the open inspection for the past two seasons due to the Covid pandemic.

Assuming all homes reach the top of the price guide, they will resell on auction day for a total of $22 million, according to the Sydney-based buyer’s agent Jack Henderson.

Mr. Henderson says Nine can expect a roughly $8 million windfall after buying a single $11 million piece of land for the reno show’s final season.

The network purchased the 70-acre dispersion in the Macedon Ranges in September 2021 for $11 million, after which it was subdivided into seven 10-acre blocks, each worth approximately $3 million, five of which were used for the homes of the participants.

Nine is already preparing for next year’s season.

Producers recently spent $14.3 million on a row of five houses in Hampton East, in Melbourne’s Bayside, 14km from the CBD.
