DINKS lose in race for nation's favourite Queenslander

This Queenslander home in Brisbane's suburbs was the nation's most viewed property going under the hammer this weekend, but the auction did not play out as expected. WATCH AUCTIONS LIVE

Keep reading for breaking auction results from 295 homes scheduled to go under the hammer across Queensland this weekend.

PropTrack data shows 177  auction are scheduled in Brisbane this week - an increase of 38 per cent year-on-year - as buyers and sellers rush to the market ahead of the traditional Easter lull.

"Auction activity will ramp up over the next two weeks as vendors look to sell ahead of the Easter school and public holidays," PropTrack economist Anne Flaherty said.

"More properties hitting the market is good news for buyers, providing them with more choice compared to the same time last year."

A divine conversion of a church originally built by a former Brisbane Lord Mayor John Greene was among headlining properties. The renovated ex-Methodist church at 24 Ashton St, Wynnum was marketed by Harcourts Solutions agents, Xander Evans and Steve Baker.

It was built in 1890 by Mr Greene and his brother, Samuel, both of whom served as mayors of Wynnum before John was appointed as the third Lord Mayor of Brisbane, from 1931 to 1934.

Since its deconsecration in 1990, the church has been extensively renovated by its current owners. It has six bedrooms and four bathrooms and sits on a leafy 1,285 sqm parcel with an outstanding al fresco entertaining zone and infinity edge pool.

Stunning original features include cathedral ceilings, exposed timber beams, rows of leadlight windows and timber floors throughout.
