The property market used to be all about position. However, that has changed in recent years.
Timing and where the buyers want to be have come into it.
Going back some years the fluctuations in median house and unit prices were judged by the suburb, the town or the postcode.
That has changed as well – it can depend on the street, the aspect, the elevation, even what side of the street.
Then there is the way the property is presented … and the price.
Adding to that is timing.
Peter TeWhata and Erica Newton of Tom Offermann Real Estate found that with the landmark five-bedroom, five-bathroom house with pool at 1 Woodlark Rise, Sunrise Beach, that they took to auction recently.
It has since sold post-auction for a street record.
“The right time, right place and right property,’’ Peter said.
“There were multiple offers after auction with a bidder on the day, and with fresh interest as well as another in the room on the day.
“It was a great sale that exceeded the bidding.’’
Interest was from interstate, the Sunshine Coast, local and Brisbane who took it out.
“They had been looking for some time,’’ Peter said. “You could not fault this property.’’
The sale is a testament to the strength of the Noosa market, Erica said, and the incredible appeal of architect-designed homes that truly embrace coastal living.
“No.1 Woodlark Rise is a stand-out property – meticulously crafted with high-end finishes, seamless indoor-outdoor spaces, and breathtaking views.
“It’s a home that redefines modern beachside living, and it’s no surprise that buyers from Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne and were eager to secure it.
“The sale price set a new street record, highlighting the on-going demand for premium homes in Sunrise Beach.
“We’re thrilled for both the buyers, who instantly fell in love with this unique residence, and the sellers, who poured so much vision and detail into its design.“
