Michael Clarke lowers price for redundant Sutherland Shire home

The injured Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke has reduced the price expectations on his Lilli Pilli house, having missed Sydney's property market resurgence.

There was $2.7 million plus price guidance for its August McGrath auction - which is less than his 2006 purchase price of $2.87 million.

The pricing came despite its post-2006 renovation.

Back in 2009, Clarke thought of quitting the Sutherland Shire but failed to achieve his then $3.4 million hopes.

Now, some two months after auction, there are $2.4 million plus expectations for the contemporary five-bedroom, four-bathroom split-level house that comes with pool, spa and boat shed on its 1,670 square metre bushland riverfront block.

Earlier this year Clarke and wife, Kyly spent $8.3 million in Vaucluse.

Clarke is currently in a race to prove his fitness for the upcoming test series against India, having succumbed to his third hamstring injury this year.
