Bondi hoarders home back for sale

The Bondi hoarder’s house has returned to the market once again with the potential to sell for more than $2 million.

More than 14 months after Mary Bobolas and her daughters Elena and Liana came up with the $180,000 to pay Waverly Council’s cleaning and legal bills, the home is once again being forcibly sold.

A statement from Waverley Council said the family now owes $160,000.

The sad case of 19 Boonara Ave sees the NSW Sheriff’s Office commissioning Raine & Horne Double Bay agent Ric Serrao to sell the property so that clean-up costs can be recovered on behalf of the council.

The 550 sqm property offers proximity to the beach, cafes, restaurants, shops and public transport.

No inspections of the home are scheduled.

When it was listed in 2015, around 63 contracts were issued, but the Bobolas family managed to come up with the money just hours before last year’s auction.

The property is listed for a May 19 auction.
