Recent sales activity has been consistently strong across the Noosa region and in all price ranges, with auctions again proving their worth as the most dynamic and effective path to achieving premium results.
Many properties marketed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agents sold before or shortly after auction, showing clear evidence of strategic marketing, accurate pricing, and the depth of genuine buyer demand.
Amongst the stand-out recent results was the listing by Rebekah Offermann of a three-bedroom riverfront residence at 27 Ward St, Tewantin, that sold under the auctioneer’s hammer for $4.75m.
It commands the most spectacular presence in a private cove, leeside of Sheep Island nature reserve and the world-famous Makepeace Island. As such, it is a highly sought-after Noosa River hideaway on 1485sq m, with extensive lush lawn area connecting it to the water’s edge and aptly named Riversong.
The sellers lovingly built the residence and lived there for 27 years. Auction day proved to be a full circle moment for interstate buyers whose back story included growing up in Tewantin.
An apartment in Alderly Tce, Little Cove, achieved almost double the Ward Street amount just one week before its scheduled auction while in Noosa Waters, a residence on Waterside Place changed hands two weeks post-auction close to its $6.9m asking price, all reaffirming a strong appetite for prestigious waterfront properties.
Noosa hinterland also enjoyed notable momentum, with a Cooroy Mountain Road residence selling for $6.6m, and another on Eumundi Range Road achieving $4.32m.
TWO FROM TWO
Scoring two from two under the auctioneer’s hammer was Tom Offermann Real Estate’s marketing agent Luke Chen.
A three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment at 12/1 Kareela Ave, Little Cove, attracted three keen, registered bidders.
It was sold to a Brisbane buyer for $3.465m.
Success number two for Luke Chen was 35 Noosa Harbour Resort, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom gem at the ever-popular riverfront complex in Quamby Place, Noosa Heads. It sold for $2.25m with Melbourne vendors passing the baton to Sydney buyers and regular visitors to the resort.
PICKING THE TRIFECTA
To use horse racing parlance in the lead-up to the Melbourne Cup, there was a Tom Offermann Real Estate auction trifecta in Noosaville.
Marketing agent Adam Offermann’s listing at 5 Laburnum Cres attracted five registered bidders on auction day who battled it out for 40 minutes, all obviously appreciating the single-level, three-bedroom home, proximity to the Noosa River, also land value interest. It was sold for $2.18m.
Marketing agent Tim McSweeney joined the trio with the top-level penthouse at 3 Wai Cocos at 215 Gympie Tce with secure entry from Gympie Tce and Elizabeth St, plus exclusive pool area with terrace.
The good life doesn’t get much better in the dress circle of Gympie Terrace with 180-degree, pelican-eye views to an abundance of natural assets from the jetty-dotted dark turquoise Noosa River, and parallel parkland to perfect sunsets.
It was sold prior to auction.
Completing the Noosaville success story was Tom Offermann Real Estate’ s Erica Newton with her listing of a two-bedroom , two-bathroom townhome at 6/269 Weyba Rd.
Several weeks prior to the auction and one week after being launched, it attracted multiple offers and was sold.
The investor from Pomona was ecstatic, as was Erica who assisted the seller gain short-term letting approval prior to the campaign. In doing so she helped with the great result of $1.297m.
BEACHSIDE RETREAT
Tucked away in Castaways Beach, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 31 Wavecrest Dve has been attracting interest ahead of auction on Friday, 7 November, because of its location.
Jesse Stowers at Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the property to the market at 1pm on the day.

NORTH-FACING WATERFRONT OPPORTUNITY
Blending privacy, space and lifestyle, a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 46 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, sold post-auction with Nathan Howie and Jack Newton of Noosa Estate Agents.
Featuring sunny alfresco living and a sparkling pool, the house had a family-friendly lay-out and has gone to buyers who had lived in Noosa previously.
“It’s a very active market,’’ Nathan said, “and the auction at 14 Lyndhurst Gve, Tewantin, went off like a firecracker.’’
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool on 2571sq m sold for $2.215m.
On Wednesday, 12 November, Nathan and Jack will take the five-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car waterfront house, with pool and jetty, at 99 Shorehaven Dve, Noosa Waters, to auction at 12pm.
“It’s a ripper,’’ Nathan said. “This presents as an opportunity to get into a north-facing Noosa Waters property.’’
Interest is coming from everywhere – interstate buyers who already own property here and are looking to upgrade, as well as international.
A feature is the house has two ensuited downstairs bedrooms that opens up guest accommodation as well as outlook to the pool.
A covered terrace comes with Teppanyaki, barbecue, bar fridge and television as well as the pool and cabana.
A bright sunroom or home office at the front adds flexibility, while a double garage with an integrated workshop and internal access gives ample storage.
Air-conditioning throughout, an 8 kW solar system, and fully fenced, the low-maintenance retreat blends contemporary style with waterfront living.
VARIETY OF INTEREST
Position and privacy have been driving interest in a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool at 27 Honey Myrtle Dve, Noosa Heads, that goes to auction Saturday, 8 November, at 9am.
In the Elysium estate, and close to the recreation club, the property has been attracting interest from locals looking for low-maintenance living, Brisbane buyers and Melbourne interests who have been living in Noosa and been prepared to wait for the property that suits.
Lachie Woods and Ryan Bradeley of Ray White are marketing the property that sits beautifully in the estate, that is known for its privacy as well as the quality of homes and the mixed demographic of residents.
“The house has been well looked after,’’ Lachie said, “and features high ceilings, multiple living areas, as well as the ability to lock and leave.’’
The alfresco and heated pool capture the northern sun, while the designer kitchen, main bedroom suite and dedicated home office provide a family-friendly layout. There is 6.5kw solar and ducted air-conditioning.
TOWNHOME ON THE PARK
It’s one of three in the Park View Sunshine complex and this end townhome in Sunshine Beach looks out to parkland yet maintains its privacy.
Kathy Wise of Sun and Sage is taking the three-bedroom townhome with two-plus bathrooms and single-car parking at 3/1 Ferris St to auction Saturday, 8 November, at 1pm.
“From here, you are looking directly across the park,’’ Kathy said, “but you cannot see in.
“Instead, there are kookaburras landing on the fence.
“It’s a flat walk to the village, there is secure parking and the complex is gated.
“Beautifully renovated, this is a very easy place to live in.’’
Brisbane interests are looking at it as a weekender, while Melbourne buyers and locals are looking to downsize.

A dining space and reading alcove take advantage of the green outlook to the park.
