Auctions in Noosa finished on a high for 2021 with the final one for the year selling under the hammer a day before Christmas Eve.
In his 10-year career as an auctioneer The Auction Group‘s supremo Gordon Macdonald well and truly exceeded the use of his gavel in 2021.
Similarly leading Sunshine Coast agency Tom Offermann Real Estate that clocked up many more auctions than the previous year.
At the Peter TeWhata-listed 6 White Beech Rd, Noosa Heads, two of the three registered bidders submitted offers prior to the auction, went head-to-head on auction day until Gordon called $1.92m “for the last and final time … and this year.“
The crowd applauded, and the buyers were ecstatic with their Christmas ’present’.
Passed in and negotiating post auction: 12/89-91 Oriole Ave, Peregian Beach, with Tracy Russell;
Apartment 9 Caribbean, 13 Noosa Pde, Noosa Heads with Peter Peter TeWhata. Contracts have been submitted so expect a result directly.
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
It’s been a big year for Peter TeWhata, with close to 100 percent success rate at auctions.
“There is no other medium in this market to get the highest possible price in the shortest timeframe,’’ he said.
“A lot of sellers are asking for them – we have been encouraging auctions for many years.
“They have a minimum timeframe but maximum opportunity to market the property.
“There is a high workload but they are worth it … in effect you are reducing the number of days on market for maximum impact.
“Auctions carry responsibility for the agent but if you are good at what you do then you will get outstanding results, many well in excess of reserve.’’
Peter has two more auction campaigns running for properties being taken to the market on Friday, January 21 – a townhouse in Sunshine and family home in Sunrise.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse at 2/1 Stevens St, Sunshine Beach, is across the road from the house Peter sold last year for $9m.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house on 640sq m at 7 Dame Patti, Sunrise Beach, has multiple indoor and outdoor spaces while bordering a nature reserve.
AND ANOTHER ONE’S GONE
And just like that, another one sold.
Noosa Estate Agents Sam Plummer and Angela Wood achieved a record price post auction for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex apartment with pool at 1/24 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville.
The light-filled, north-facing, sophisticated apartment saw active bidding from $2.3m at auction late last year.
It was passed in on the day and a sale negotiated with buyers from Twin Waters.
The ground floor features spacious open plan kitchen and living, flowing seamlessly out to the alfresco entertaining area overlooking the in-ground pool.
SOMETHING OF VALUE
Will they or won’t they … that was the question Warren Evans of Laguna Real Estate was faced with at 26 Cooroibah Cres, Tewantin.
In the end the sellers agreed to put the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool on the market at offers over $1,575,000.
It didn’t take long before the single-level house on 1502sq m was placed under contract with a young local couple.
“They walked in and fell in love with it,’’ Warren said. “It’s their dream home for getting married.
“The home really suits them. They have a small timber yacht in the garage already.’’
The house features a magnificent solar-heated, saltwater pool and Balinese cabana, with a huge main bedroom featuring spa and walk-in dressing room opening to the pool.
Other highlights are a galley kitchen with granite benchtops, bar/pool room, media room, office and studio.
Warren now has a significant North Shore property listed for auction later this month.
The River House, a three-bedroom, one-bathroom Queenslander circa 1913 circa, at 43 Noosa River Dve is set to go to the market at 11am on Friday, January 28.
On 1017sq m of riverfront land, the property has had some significant owners in the past, Warren said.
High-set and built from Queensland hardwood milled at Tewantin, the house features beautiful verandas to capture the river views.
There is even a timber jetty to tie the tinny up at.
“The more I go over to see it the better it gets,’’ Warren said.
“Early inquiry has been from New South Wales, Victoria, Brisbane and local. Professional people are included.
“This would be a great project to renovate.’’
LAND ON THE SOUND
It’s hard enough to find a waterfront house on Noosa Sound that’s for sale, let alone a vacant block.
Mal Cox of Tom Offermann Real Estate has a 620sq m property with jetty at 19 Key Ct that goes to auction Saturday, January 15, at 2pm.
“They’re as scarce as hens teeth,’’ Mal said, “and this one is in a central location – nice and quiet from Noosa Pde as well as from boat traffic.’’
The flat, grassy site features a brilliant red poinciana and is framed by a 20m revetment wall plus white-sand foreshore.
With long water views, it is the closest option to Hastings St that is on the market.
has all the hallmarks for the creation of a spectacular showpiece with a jetty Auction Saturday 15 January 2pm ..
There has been strong inquiry from interstate as well as solid local interest, Mal said.
Cameron Urquhart at Tom Offermann has a three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 4/144 Noosa Pde, Noosaville, going to the market Saturday at 11am.
In a boutique complex of 12 at Riviera, the north-facing, ground-floor apartment features terraces on three sides and has a fully inclusive inventory to suit the high-end holiday market.
Midway between Noosa Main Beach and Gympie Terrace, the resort has parks and waterways on two sides.
TOP FLOOR WITH LAKE VIEWS
It’s a brand new penthouse, positioned high on the ridgeline in Parkridge, and commands stunning views of Lake Weyba as well the hinterland and beyond.
Kate Cox and Tony Cox at Reed & Co are taking 2232/15 Lakeview Rise, Noosa Heads, to auction on Saturday, January 15, at 1pm.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car apartment has lift access to the front door where the extra-width hall begins to reveal the secrets to this exceptional property.
“We have had a good bit of interest,’’ Kate said, “mainly locals downsizing and Brisbane.
“It would make a fantastic holiday property.
“It’s on the top floor with amazing views and is extraordinarily private – there is no-one on one side.’’
