Auction market continues to show resilience
The last seven days has seen Ray White auctions demonstrate remarkable resilience in a market that continues to both surprise and impress.
Ray White Mission Bay’s Vanessa Mowlem and Jono Barton had the top auction sale of the week, selling 75 Speight Rd, Kohimarama for $3.6 million.
“Both sales were at our in-room event and the auction room was full. It had a nice, humming feeling which gave people a lot of confidence,” Ms Mowlem said.
“In the last three or four weeks, numbers at open homes have been increasing significantly and there’s a real willingness to buy. Confidence from buyers has been growing and it’s really given people more urgency to buy.
“Speight Road was bought by a middle aged couple after three weeks on the market. We had about 60 people through the open homes which was great, most of them were middle aged or a little older.
“The house is in a great position, on a lovely cornerside, north facing, with a beautiful floor plan.”
Ms Mowlem and Mr Barton also sold 31B Rawhitiroa Rd, Kohimarama for $2,187,500 at the same auction in-room event.
Ray White Silverdale agent Nicole Donovan and David Smith from Ray White Carpenter Realty attracted the top number of registered bidders at 25 Sequoia Pl, Sunnynook, North Shore City. Ten registered bidders attended the Sunnynook auction, while seven bidders actively participated, resulting in a $1.165 million sale price.
