The 10 most expensive sales of the week: RP Data

A Queensland estate beat out blue chip Sydney offerings to secure the most expensive sale of this week, according to RP Data. 

The Fig Tree Pocket home in Brisbane's South West (pictured above) secured $8.25 million.

RP Data suggest that another Queensland home came in second place for the week, with a $4.5 million sale for a Cleveland house. However, it looks like it was beat by a Georgian-inspired Toorak mansion, which sold for $6.01 million on the weekend (pictured below).
