Lead agent and principal Brandon Wortley from Ray White Collective said the result today was a good one. "From 1.6m to about 2.050m, the price went up quite quickly and we went behind closed doors and did a bit of negotiations between the buyer and the vendors," Mr Wortley said.
"We then saw an increased offer on the basis the property was on the market. "The current owners fled the during the pandemic and moving back to Melbourne. "50 per cent of the buyers that went through the home were from interstate." Mr Wortley said the new buyers were local Brisbane buyers from Camp Hill "We had a big whack of the interested parties from Melbourne and Sydney and even interest from London and Dubai," he said. "We’ve got a bit of a mix at the moment, we’ve had a lack of stock but we've got mid and long term confidence.
"I’m feeling the market is really buoyant at the moment, we sold another property about two weeks ago that sold for 2.4m that sold for 1.8m in Jan 2020. "That growth has never happened before, while it may not be 25-30% that we saw during covid but I still think in the long-term we’re going to get really strong uplift as we get into that $2m plus category where the sensitivity behind interest rate is lower. "Ray White Collective has sold 80 per cent of its auction stock in the last 24 hours. In Hawthorne it was all locals bidding, said Mr Wortley. The Hawthorne property was bought for $1.8 million in September 2021.

"It was a busy auction, we still pulled a pretty good crowd and had a few last minute registered bidders. "Stock levels are really low at the moment, if you’ve got a quality home good real estate is going to attract good interest and with this property the home owners did a lot to the property. Mr Russell said with a lot of people coming out of fixed interest rates there will be more property coming on the market in the future.

"Day 1 they thought the property was worth $1m but as a went through the campaign we thought it was worth more." Ms Harvey said as interest rates rose buyers got fussier with what they were willing to pay. "There's a lot of uncertainty with renovations at the moment buyers are unsure of what the cost is going to be," she said. "This property the owners can move-in straight away and the buyers were stoked. "I think it’s a fantastic time to sell because there’s a lot of buyers and not much stock and it’s a fantastic time to buy as we don’t see pricers going down."
