Having bought a Noosaville holiday home, newly installed Caltex chairman Greig Gailey and his sociologist wife, Dr Geraldine Lazarus have reduced the asking price for their now redundant Sunshine Coast holidayer.
Previously seeking $3.4 million through Sam Plummer and Karen Bester at Dowling &amp; Neylan Real Estate, the home now comes with a $3.2 million guide following their new purchase.
The Toorak couple paid $2.55 million in 2009 for the Gabriel Poole designed beach house.
They spent $2.975 million for the four bedroom Noosaville waterfront, a bit closer to the tourism hub than at Sunshine Beach.

Sydney architect Domenic Alvaro’s strikingly small, five storey Surry Hills house sold for $1.88 million in 2014, to rank as Sydney's priciest custom built one bedder.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-palm+beach-123256714" target="_blank">Now Sydney's most expensive one bedroom beach house </a>was listed last week for sale at Palm Beach. The Modern House agency has a $1.55 million asking price on the highly contemporary, yet 1998-built offering.
It was custom designed for photographer Greg Barrett by Furio Valich at Gordon + Valich Architects, in partnership with Belinda Koopman Architects.
In its bushland Cynthea Road location, the house was the winner of the RAIA Merit Award for Housing in 1999 with its Sydney School architectural influences obvious given the use of the site's sandstone and angophora.
The one bedroom house is made up of a main, open living and dining space on the ground floor and a small upper floor bedroom.
All up just a modest 85 square metre internal space, there's an additional 81 square metres of external deck and terrace space.
"Belinda and Jim Koopman’s design succeeds on all counts," said the listing agent Marcus Lloyd-Jones at Modern House.
Barrett paid $300,000 in 1990 for the land.
Sydney's highest known one bedroom apartment sale was hooked recently by the fishing guru Rex Hunt who sold his Quay Grand apartment on Macquarie Street for $2.05 million.
It was back in 1999 when Hunt paid $690,000 to buy into the Mirvac developed complex.

Nicholas Condon, former managing director of advertising agency DDB, and his interior designer wife Kate Beadle have snappily sold their Portsea property.
They had initial $3.65 million expectations for the Duffy Street beach home built in 2016, after the couple paid $1,105,000 two years earlier.
Blending classic beach house with 21st century refinement, the quintessential Morninington Peninsula holiday home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a swimming pool.
Kay &amp; Burton agent Liz Jensen handled the marketing. The three interested buyers, with two on speaker phones in the late post-auction afternoon negotiations, saw it sell at $3.5 million plus.
Condon stepped downs ad DDB's managing director in 2013 to partner with Kate to develop property.
Last year they transformed an Armadale home which sold for $900,000 over reserve.
The five bedroom house sold for $5,925,000, three years after the couple paid $2,022,000 for what was then a Federation-era period home.
