Auctions attended this weekend.

4 Talofa Avenue Brighton East.

talofaThis newly constructed three level modern home has plenty of wow and the auction attracted an audience of around 200 people. James Paynter of Buxton’s opened with a vendor bid of $2.0m and this was matched by one bidder. After some time another vendor bid of $2.05 was placed, then another vendor bid of $2.1m. This remains unsold with a reserve of $2.35m.

Superb location compliments this well renovated single level home. Leigh Hallamore of Buxton’s conducted this auction, which was opened with a $1.35m bid, closely followed by another party with a strong counter bid of $1.45m. A vendor bid of $1.5m was then placed and matched by the second bidder, with the original opening bidder placing a further $10,000 which the auctioneer rejected. A modest crowd of around 50 people watched this pass-in for $1.5m. Property sold shortly after for $1.65m.

A unique location (what other street in has so many gum tress?) and a good house with north facing rear was always going to perform well. Again, Leigh Hallamore of Buxton’s conducted this auction, in front of around 50 people. After opening at $1.9m and being followed at $2.0m, this was passed in for $2.1m on a vendor bid. Property sold after this for an undisclosed amount.

A lovely street with a great community feel and a good house with north facing rear. Peter Kennett of conducted this auction, in front of around 100 people. An early vendor bid of $1.05m was followed after the half-time break with another vendor bid of $1.075, failing to attract any interest from the crowd. Property was passed in below the reserve of $1.2m and we understand it remains unsold.
