All about Auctions!

We had another great Auction result on the weekend with Agent Tony Nash selling 8 Kingsgrove Court, Buderim under the hammer for $495,000…there was a lot of negotiation involved and the Auctioneer Gordon McDonald did a brilliant job.

This Saturday we are holding two more Auctions.  The fun kicks off at 11:00am with the   82 Buderim Avenue, Alexandra Headland Auction; this property perched high on Alex Hill with north-east aspect and wonderful views on the largest block in Alex (2770m2) is complete with a 4 bedroom home, ripe for renovation and there is also subdivision potential…sure to be a ‘cracker’ of an Auction – check it out:  https://www.amberwerchon.com.au/1443890/.

At 2pm David Clarkson takes Unit 49/57 Grand Parade, Parrearra to Auction, this is a stylish three bedroom apartment with northern aspect on third floor at the popular Ocean Reach complex: https://www.amberwerchon.com.au/1455792/.

Jason Andrew of Jason Andrew Auctioneers reports in his latest newsletter that Auction clearance rates have not been as healthy the past four weeks as earlier in the year and late last year; he attributes this to a falling total number of buyers and increasing stock levels in some suburbs.  However, he does report “with conditions still healthy in the property market, good opportunities to transact still exist. Critically, vendors of well presented properties who are well versed with current market values and do not expect an above-market result are most likely to achieve a sale under the hammer.”

Mark and I attended the REIA Awards last Thursday night in beautiful Hobart and although we didn’t win, we were honoured to represent Queensland in our respective categories and congratulate all the winners.
