It's been an epic day of auctions across the city today.

An Alderley house has broken an 18-year suburb record when it sold at auction for $3.41 million.

Three friends joined their finances together to get into the property market at Acacia Ridge.

And in Tarragindi, one desperate homebuyer almost bought two houses at the same time when she registered to bid on two properties that were both going to auction at 12pm, and was leading the bidding on both houses at one stage.

Catch up on all today's drama in this special auction day blog and we'll be back to bring you more auction action next Saturday.

After 18 years, the Brisbane suburb of Alderley has a new suburb record after this four-year-old home trumped it by almost $300,000 at auction yesterday.

Farrington House at 39 David Street, Alderley has held the suburb record since 2003 when it sold for $3.15 million.

Janine McDonald of Ray White Alderley had six registered bidders for the auction of 29 Welbeck Street, with four buyers actively participating.
A family upsizing from the next suburb bought the house.
"It speaks to the market but also the quality of the home. Both the house (on 946 sqm) and the position were outstanding."
The five-bedroom house, with a 12m inground heated pool, has been designed with a Queenslander-Hamptons style and has 180-degree views from the city, across Grange Forest Park, to Moreton Bay and the sand dunes of Moreton Island.
Well over 100 buyer groups inspected the house during the sales campaign with all local interest except for one buyer from North Queensland.

Seven bidders registered for the auction of this three-bedroom piece of inner-city gold on 304 sqm with local buyers winning in the end. Six of the seven bidders were active during the auction which sold without having to pause for negotiations.
"A lot of the locals are acting really swiftly at the moment," Ray White New Farm principal Matt Lancashire said.
"There has been heat from Sydney and Melbourne and expats so the locals are active now."
However he said in the prestige market, 50 per cent of Ray White New Farm deals are being made with interstate and overseas buyers.
"People are asking if the heat is coming out of the market. Today's bidding was epic. Generally when you start an auction, you wait to hear for an opening bid, but these were off straight away."
He said buyer's agents are invaluable in the current market to help with momentum, to negotiate for people who aren't experienced and introduce buyers to properties early in their sales campaigns.

Three woman pooled their finances to purchase this three-bedroom house on 1050 sqm after it came to market for the first time since it was built in 1957.

Ray White Annerley agent Bevan Powell was approached by one of the women, who lives in Salisbury, about whether she could buy property with the money from her super fund.

"I said you're not going to buy anything with that, so she found a couple of friends and they've bought together," Mr Powell said.

Thirteen bidders took the property to auction with the seller setting a reserve of $500,000.

"Shirley hasn't lived there for quite some time but she's always said that when the market gets to $500,000 she'll sell," Mr Powell said.

"I said the market is definitely past $500,000 now."

Two of the three women will live in the house before subdividing and building a new house on part of the property.
