22 August 

A very big crowd assembled at 7.00pm at the Bucklands Beach Yacht Club for our second auction portfolio for August.

7 Chesley Place in Highland Park had attracted a lot of buyer interest during the three weeks of marketing due in part to the excellent presentation which was the result of our Vendors refurbishing skills to present a modern “up to date” family living environment.

Very active bidding from at least 6 bidders resulted in a sale “under the hammer “ at $526,000. Congratulations to the buyer and commiserations  to the under bidders who certainly tried hard to be the next owners of this appealing property.

52 Granger Road Cockle Bay was another that “stood out” from so many current listings and like Chesley attracted numerous potential buyers to the Open Homes and private inspections. Real indoor character, a definite personality and a very inviting outdoor living area that included sheltered courtyard, inground pool and spa were appreciated from buyers both within our Eastern Beaches area and from other areas of Auckland such as the Kohimarama and St Heliers. Competitive bidding resulted in a “sale under the hammer” at $852,000.

The Gills Road townhouse and the Bradbury Road home with granny flat utilization options are still under discussion.

8 August Auction portfolio which produced positive results, again, underlining the positive attitude of buyers and success for Vendors who consider carefully marketing and potential buyer reaction.

5 Hartles Place in Mellons Bay sold “under the hammer” after competitive bidding $828,000.This home offers the new owners lots of character surrounded by a natural bush like and very private section setting, while so close to Howick Village emphasizes such excellent “position” factors. We know the new owners will relish their new home and all its attributes.

3/ 19 Eltham Road in Kohimarama offered buyers an opportunity to own an easy to care for base just a street away from all the vitality of the Tamaki Drive waterfront. This two bedroom ground level apartment in the art deco Malborough building sold “under the hammer “ $405,000. Congratulations to the new owners on their first real estate purchase.

We are finalizing negotiations for 7A Basilton Close and in further discussions with buyers for Fisher Parade.    

 

Ken Ralph Auction Services Manager reports our June 27 Auction Portfolio confirmed a buoyant market and buyer confidence particularly for properties that include good “position factors” as part of their assets. There was strong buyer interest in the traditional brick and tile units at The Boulevard and Fordyce Avenue Sunnyhills.

2/ 7 The Boulevard, which was the rear unit with a generous sized garden setting, lead off the evening selling “under the hammer” after competitive bidding for $403,000. We then offered 1/ 7 The Boulevard, which was the street frontage unit, where it too attracted competitive bidding also selling “under the hammer” for $393,000. Both these units remain in one ownership. 1/5 Fordyce Avenue also sold “under the hammer” for $413,000.

5 View Road Cockle Bay sold prior to auction with the Vendors exercising their right to accept an unconditional offer prior to auction time.
