Canberra auctions off to a flier
Staff reporterJanuary 29, 2018

More than 100 registered bidders attended an auction event in Canberra last week.

There were 29 properties for auction with 22 selling under the hammer, reflecting a 76% clearance rate.

Out of the offering only one came without a registered bidder.

Five of the homes had more than seven registered bidders after more than 1000 inspections of the auctioned Ray White homes were undertaken.

Prices ranged from $430,000 to $1,452,500 including 15 Hakea Crescent, O’Connor (pictured above) with the four-bedroom 2009 home the highest result.

The $430,000 sale was a 150 sqm three bedroom Narrabundah apartment that had previously sold in 2003 at $285,000.

It was sold as a $420 a week rental until September. It had been initially listed with $475,000 hopes last year.
