The sizzling summer of auctions continues albeit a little buyer fatigue which is good news for interstaters crossing the border for the first time in many months.
However, it was all eyes on the prize of a one-off investment opportunity at 14 Howard, Noosaville, 125 metres to the Noosa River foreshore.
Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter received much interest during the campaign which is hardly surprising given the property comprises four apartments with tenant leases in place until year-end 2022.
There were five registered bidders, and it was sold under the hammer for $2.9m to local investors.
Bidding for apartment 108 at the French Quarter Resort with a terrace overlooking Hastings St, Noosa Heads, and listed by Jesse Stowers and Julie Bengtsson, stalled at $962,500.
A few hours later it was sold for $965,000, to a Victorian buyer who had viewed the property via a virtual tour. He was also the highest bidder at the auction.
Stunning Christella Estate at 19 Christella Pl, Verrierdale, listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Chris Miller attracted five registered bidders; however, was passed in at $2.3m. It is listed for $2.5m.
A gleaming new designer residence at 35 Sunset Dve, Noosa Heads, listed by Cameron Urquhart had interest during the campaign from interstate buyers also local downsizers. Bidding commenced at $1.5m, it was passed in at $1.8m and is now listed for $1.95m.
The weekend finished on a high note in Little Cove with the Luke Chen-listed apartment 1/18 Park Rd, Noosa Heads.
Pre-auction interest came from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, five out nine registered bidders were on the phone and the Melbourne vendors who had owned the apartment since 1987, were thrilled with the $3.625m result, also passing the baton onto another Melbourne family, who intend escaping southern winters to idyllic sub-tropical climes.
BORDER OPENINGS BRING CHANGES
The opening of the state borders as Covid vaccination rates reach prescribed numbers has seen some agents adjusting their marketing campaigns.
With the numbers of people expected to come to Noosa for summer, agents have in some cases changed the auction date to give sellers the benefit of any extra numbers wishing to buy.
Originally set for auction on Wednesday, December 15, Kate and Tony Cox of Reed & Co have shifted the date back to January for the four-bedroom, five-bathroom, two-car hose with pool at 17 Cloudsley St, Noosaville.
Perfectly positioned 300 metres from Noosa River, this brand-new home epitomises contemporary river living with more than a splash of glamour.
Sam Plummer and Angela Wood at Noosa Estate Agents did not proceed with the auction of 42 Shipyard Cct, Noosa Waters, on Tuesday, December 14.
Instead they have listed the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with pool with a price guide from early $2m.
IN DEMAND
Mark Hodgkinson and Darren Neal of Reed & Co had success with the auction of 7 Blueberry Lne, Eumundi, on Friday.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on 0.54ha attracted three bidders and sold under the hammer for $1,750,000 to local buyers.
Meanwhile Shane McCauley at Richardson & Wrench Noosa was presented with an offer strong enough to stop the auction of 2/30 Ann St, Noosaville.
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car duplex apartment was always going to attract interest.
It sold on the second open home after 41 inspections to an interstate buyer.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Lian Scott at Wythes Real Estate sold the six-bedroom, four-bathroom house on 0.62ha at 21 Shields St, Eumundi, prior to the auction scheduled for December 11.
It went to Sydney buyers who had been looking for a property with dual living potential for some time.
“Everyone has had a big year,’’ Lian said. “Now we have more and more people getting properties ready to go onto the market.
“I’m sure there will be people from the southern states looking for some sunshine in their life.
“We can expect another really big year.’’
Among the properties Lian has on offer is an original two-bedroom house on 55.14ha at Cootharaba for sale by expressions of interest.
100 PERCENT HINTERLAND SUCCESS
This year Jeanette Catalano at Hinternoosa has done more auctions than ever before.
In fact Jeanette has a 100 percent success rate, with 12 out of 12 selling – the most recent being 12 Pine Tree Drive West, Lake Macdonald.
The four-bedroom three-bathroom house with pool on 5526sq m sold on Wednesday, December 15, for $1.175m to Sunshine Coast buyers who will move there.
Je anette said auctions have been a terrific way for their sellers to really achieve premium prices, and as sales agents to add value to the whole process.
“Buyers too have enjoyed being able to see and hear their competition and know how much more they need to bid if they are to succeed and be the eventual purchaser. “Traditionally, this hasn’t always been the case.
“It’s very exciting to finally see the auction process work so well here.
“We have seen this year slowly but surely turn into a sellers market well and truly.
“Let’s see what next year brings in the cycle that is real estate.’’
