Sydney auction tipping: Plenty of potential in Artamon

This Saturday marks the 12th and final round of Property Tycoon winter season, and the competition at the top of the leader board is still wide open. With more than $7 million up for grabs in both Melbourne and Sydney the top 10 Tycoons in both cities are still in the hunt to take out the title and the $1,000 prize.

For those who want to have a harmless punt, there's now a tipping website, www.propertytycoon.com.au, where punters can guess auction five results in Melbourne and Sydney, with no outlay. It's mostly about testing your market knowledge with a small cash prize as a sweetener.

When looking for real estate that will make you money potential is an important ingredient. The property at 9 Weedon Road, Artarmon, one of five Sydney properties going to auction this weekend in round 12 of the competition, is not everything it could be just yet. However, the option to renovate it into a great family home 10K kilometres from the CBD on almost 700 square metres of land is the potential you should be looking for.

The three-bedroom, single-bathroom solid brick home has been cosmetically renovated and would make a comfortable home initially.  It is located a short walk from shops, parks, public transport and is the Artarmon public school catchment area.

Agent John McManus says there has been strong interest during the marketing campaign, with most buyers talking in excess of $1.4 million.

If you think you know what it will sell for place a tip at Property Tycoon.
