It was a matter of calling “land ahoy’’ in Noosa last week as two vacant blocks sold at auction for premium prices.
The Tom Offermann Real Estate 100 percent clearance rate of the previous week, when five out five properties were sold under the hammer, continued last weekend. This time the focus was on land and the results were outstanding.
The in-rooms auction of 66 Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach, held at the Offermann office, attracted a large crowd including nine registered bidders vying for one of the most exclusive sites in Sunshine Beach.
The cleared 574sq m site with 22.3m beach frontage was sold under the hammer for $7.7m, a new benchmark and record price for a regular-sized beachfront allotment, by surpassing the $7m sale price achieved by the agency for 26 Park Cres, Sunshine Beach, six months earlier.
The Michael McComas-listed 12 Jailee Ct, Noosaville, in the Noosa Northrise estate abutting Noosa Waters, drew enormous interest during the campaign from those wishing to build their dream home. There were over 20 attendees, four registered, and after competitive bidding the hammer fell at $1m for the vacant 655sq m site to interstate buyers.
At the Tracy Russell-listed 13 Cherrywood Close, Marcus Beach, more than 60 groups inspected the four-bedroom home during the three-week campaign. It was sold prior to auction.
Interestingly, the median price gains for the past five years according to RPData shows houses in Noosa Heads up 69.2 percent and apartments 69.7 percent.
Houses in Noosaville have shown 53.7 percent increase and apartments 39.6 percent.
At Sunshine Beach, houses have risen by 108.4 percent and apartments 72.1 percent.
EYES ON NOOSAVILLE
Eyes will again be on Noosaville this Saturday when two apartments in Barbados Cres go to auction.
Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate is taking the two-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront apartment 8 Driftwood, 9 Barbados Cres, to the market at 9am.
An hour later colleague Eliza Coppin will present the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 6 Noosa Haven, 16 Barbados Cres, for active bidding.
“It’s exciting,’’ Rebekah said, “ … waterfront apartments are often desired but rarely available.’’
Driftwood has a boardwalk and pontoon for water craft to be tied to or launched from, such as a tinnie, stand-up paddleboard or kayak.
The townhouse features a contemporary fit-out, matching furnishings and light-filled living spaces opening to the north-facing outdoor areas.
Eliza said the Noosa Haven apartment had lots of inquiry, and good attendances at open homes.
“It’s a cracking property,’’ she said, “… a quiet, north-facing property.
“It’s been a really good blend of interstate inquiries and locals … those who know the area well and what a good catch it is.’’
With a north-facing deck and seemingly perched on the white sand and blue waters of the Noosa River, the apartment attracts bookings year-round and mostly back-to-back.
ONE OF EIGHT
It’s one of eight apartments in the riverfront complex and Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate is getting a lot of interest in the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment 4/235 Gympie Tce, Noosaville, that goes to auction at 10am on Saturday, April 24.
“Once again, Brisbane buyers are very active, along with local buyers who are downsizing,’’ Melanie said.
“There’s a mix of owner-occupiers downsizing and investors wanting to get into what is a prime real estate market.
“We have had a lot of interest at opens, also from interstate and New Zealand.
“The current owners purchased it off the plan more than 22 years ago.
“At the time it was perceived to be the best in the complex – top floor, north facing, raked ceilings, and huge veranda taking in views to the Noosa River mouth and west to the Tewantin sunsets. ’’
The apartment is being offered furnished for investors to take advantage of the popular holiday-let residence, Melanie said.
The spacious kitchen overlooks the lounge and dining spaces, while the bedrooms and bathrooms are to the rear.
It will be open Friday 10-10.30am, and Saturday 9.30 to 10am.
MARLIN DVE PROPERTY HOOKED
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with study at 20 Marlin Dr, Noosaville, attracted a huge amount of buyer interest from local owner-occupiers to interstate investors in the lead-up to the scheduled auction on April 3.
Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate said it was a great location on offer, with an easy walk to the Noosa Yacht Club, Gibson Road shopping hub and the fabulous assortment of restaurants on Gympie Tce and Thomas St.
“This much loved home is in original condition and can do with a lift.
“The interstate buyer chose to take the property off the market prior to auction, and is intending to value-add to capitalise on the prime location.’’
DUAL-KEY ON THE RIVER
Shane McCauley and Frank Milat of Richardson and Wrench Noosa have had early interest and offers on the large dual-key riverfront apartment 314 and 315 Hotel Laguna, 6 Hastings St, Noosa Heads.
The luxury two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment has long water views and strong holiday income.
Renovated and with 106sq m on title, it is attracting interstate interest as well as from others in the area looking to upgrade or improve their position.
It is set for auction at midday on Friday, April 24.
LOCAL APPEAL
Set for auction Friday, April 24, at 5pm, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 4/2-10 Blakesley St, Tewantin, is proving popular.
Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate said the apartment was on the ground floor in a gated residential building, and had wheelchair access from the street, then all the way to Poinciana Ave.
It is appealing to locals wanting to downsize into a secure complex.
With large living area, from the patio there is a big lawn down to the river and a really broad water frontage.
THE ART OF NEGOTIATION
Everyone loves a Queenslander and Dowling Neylan’s Robyn Opperman took the immaculately presented 16 Lilly Pilly Pl, Noosaville, to auction on Saturday.
Most interest was local combined with interstate, who appreciated the location of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house.
Robyn was continuing to negotiate early in the week with the highest bidder on auction day.
Meanwhile two other properties have gone to contract prior to auction.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool at 67 George St, Tewantin, was perfect for work from home or dual occupancy. It has gone to contract with Sydney buyers who flew up to inspect.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 2/43 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads, has gone under contract, also with Sydney buyers but this time sight unseen.
