Weekend auction tipping $1.3 million result
With almost 900 auctions this weekend, 150 of which were properties above $1 million, it was clear that not all properties were going to attract competition. 158 Napier Street, South Melbourne was one of these properties, as a very small crowd looked on as the property was passed in on a vendor bid of $1.3 million. A negotiation commenced after the auction, with a sold sticker appearing on the board shortly after.
Many tippers on www.propertytycoon.com.au predicted a stronger price with an average tip of almost $1.4 million. This result shows us that as supply grows in a spring market we see more opportunities to buy well.
On the upside for the vendor, who only paid $300,000 for the property, it has shown a solid growth rate of almost 9%.
