A five-bedroom house in Manly sold for $21.5 million on Saturday, when it went under the hammer for the first time in more than 40 years.
A surgeon walked away with the keys to the original-condition home overlooking Manly beach, outbidding eight other registered buyers in a drawn-out auction that lasted for more than 40 minutes. A large crowd gathered for the auction of 2 Reddall Street, which sits on a 400-square-metre block behind the Manly Surf Pavilion, and last traded for $300,000 in 1981. When the bidding stalled, lengthy negotiations on the auction floor ensued, and eventually an offer was made to match the vendor’s revised reserve price of $19 million.
A fifth bidder then joined the competition, making an offer of $19.5 million, and the two parties traded $250,000 increases until the $21.5 million sale price. The suburb record sits at $23 million.
Last week’s Sydney auction clearance rate was 66%, 2% higher than the week before. There were 353 properties listed for sale, 232 properties were sold, and 71 properties were withdrawn. Moreover, the total clearance rate for state of New South Wale last week was 58%.
According to Realestate.com.au, it was reported 1404 private sales in New South Wales over last week. 252 properties were sold at auction, while 181 were sold prior to auction.
