The top result for the week went to Ray White Grey Lynn agents Scott Wither and Chloe Wither who sold 28 Dickens Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland City under the hammer for $3.37 million. With Ray White New Zealand auctioneer Ben East on the gavel, the auction recorded two registered bidders and two active bidders.
Ms Wither said it was a fantastic auction.
“We had two really motivated buyers and vendors who were prepared to take our lead,” she said.
“The winning bid went to a local family who had been on the hunt for a little while.”
Ms Wither said there had been a shortage of new listings for good quality homes in the area, particularly larger family homes.
“We had 60 groups through this property which was really pleasing,” she said.
“It was a reflection of the fact it was a really good property with a great floorplan which would work well for families, but also that there are motivated buyers in the market with little else to choose from.”
Mr Wither said he was thrilled to welcome the new owners to 28 Dickens Street.
“After an incredibly busy auction campaign resulting in 60 inspections, 10,450 online views and two bidders at auction, this is a great illustration of why selling in isolation and making the most of the winter drought of new listings can be so beneficial and rewarding for sellers,” Mr Wither said.
The auction with the highest number of registered bidders went to Ray White Manurewa agents Phuong Ngyuen and Florence Tran who sold 25 Trevor Hosken Drive, Wiri, Manukau City, under the hammer for $611,000 with 16 registered bidders and 14 active bidders.
“The property needed a lot of work so it was a good property to do up. It was in a good location close to central Manukau,” Ms Nguyen said.
“We had one home buyer bidding, and the rest were investors and builders who wanted to renovate and sell.
“The winning bid went to a local investor/trader.
“The sellers lived there for the past 25 years. I believe they were the second owners since the house was built.”
