The ABC 4 Corners journalist Michael Brissenden - who last year televised a report on Australia's debt fuelled housing boom suggesting it could come to a crashing end - bought an inner Sydney terrace at weekend auction.
But with the boom tailing off, the Newtown home cost $1,675,000, just $10,000 above its official reserve.
Three of the five registered bidders participated at the onsite auction which had come with a $1,475,000 buyers guide.

Brissenden, who The Sunday Telegraph reported opened the bidding at $1.4 million, has been Canberra based during which he'd previously been the 7.30 political editor, host of AM, defence correspondent and an overseas correspondent.
