BOUGHT* RANGE - $1,294,650 - $1,424,250

Andrew Hayne got this brunch-time auction rolling with a brisk opening vendor bid of $1,100,000. It was met with a lightening fast, strong genuine bid of $1,200,000 which surprised the crowd that had milled around. Another bidder emerged to elevate the closing bid to $1,325,000 and the property was passed in for that figure. My further probing revealed that a sale price was negotiated post auction. Surely a relief to the purchaser who, I was told, had been house hunting for some 30 months!
