The annual list of the top 20 Queensland real estate sales is much anticipated by the state’s leading agents.
The 2024 list was no exception, and it was a remarkable feat for Noosa agency Tom Offermann Real Estate as not only were five properties in the top 20, but all had the 4567 Noosa Heads postcode.
Those blockbuster properties were 43 Witta Circle $30m; 10 Noosa Pde $22.5m; 40 Noosa Pde $20.5m; 3 Allambi Rise $16.9m; and 2/1-7 Bayview Road $15m.
Whether it’s one of those blockbuster sales that made the headlines in 2024, or one of the hundreds that stayed under the radar, all heralded significant changes in the circumstances of buyers.
For sellers, it was about empowering them to move on to other properties, projects and places.
Virtually every sale is life-changing to some degree, contributing to positive outcomes, thus making the role of real estate agents so engaging and always extra rewarding.
WATERFRONT APARTMENT BRINGS BRIGHT START
Continuing the successful streak of 2024 was Tom Offermann Real Estate’s first round of auctions for 2025.
Not surprisingly, given the wide views of the Noosa River including the river mouth, there was an excellent crowd at apartment 23 Noosa Shores Resort on Noosa Parade, Noosa Heads, on Saturday, 25 January.
Marketing agent Luke Chen had phone bidders from Melbourne and Brisbane who battled it out, and the two-bedroom apartment was declared ‘sold’ to the River City buyers at $1.556m.
A bitter-sweet time for the vendors after 20 years of happy holidays.
LUSTROUS RIVER GUMS
Boasting a coveted address on the riverfront, a two-bedroom apartment with a terrace and several footsteps across the lawn to the water’s edge, were just some of the magnets for interested parties pre-auction and on the day.
Apartment 3 at River Gums, 1-3 Russell Street, Noosaville, listed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tim McSweeney, attracted 80-plus attendees, and an astounding 14 registered bidders including two on the phone.
The apartment enjoyed a deepwater pontoon and a 180-degree watercolour panorama.
Understandably bidding was fierce until auctioneer Gordon Macdonald finally called ‘sold’ to a country Queensland family for $2.9m.
BLUEFIN BEAUTY
When it comes to emotional appeal, rarity factor and beautiful townhouses in ace locations close to the Noosa River, coveted Bluefin Court holds the key.
The pre-campaign interest for the three-bedroom townhouse 2 at 19 Bluefin Court, Noosaville, was certainly testament to this.
Marketed by Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Jill Goode, there were three keen registered bidders plus a good crowd on auction day.
The property was finally sold under the hammer for $1.575m to a Melbourne buyer, and after 27 years of ownership the vendor was all smiles and ready to embark on a new venture.
