Auburn three bedroom apartment sells to investor in weekend's cheapest auction offering
Sydney's cheapest long weekend sale was $348,000 at Auburn.
It sold pre-auction, as did many of the weekend offerings.
As soon as it was sold by First National Auburn Waters & Carpenter, the investor buyer put the three bedroom 88 Station Road apartment for lease pending its settlement.
Seeking $400 a week, the sale thereby reflects a 5.9% rental yield. It last sold at $230,000 in 2005.
Sydney agents secured 73.7% success rate from the initial 300 results. There are another 93 results yet to be tabulated by Australian Property Monitors.
Leichhardt has a new suburb record with the current record-holder home selling on the long weekend for $3.05 million.
Set on 658 square metres, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home sold through Ray White Inner West's David Eastway. With that much land it is about three times bigger than the typical Leichhardt block.
It was sold by the banker Ashley Salter and his wife, Paspaley Pearls creative director, Christine Salter.
