The highlight came in Waltham where Ray White Full Circle Salesperson Brendon Pierce sold his first ever property under the hammer for NZ$195,000 at 2/44 Shakespeare Road (above).
“I have to say it was a dream campaign for the vendors, being an ‘as-is’ property, we wanted as many eyes on it as possible so we decided to go for the auction method,” Mr Pierce said.
“We knew that was the best way to drive competition for our vendors and that’s how it turned out as four registered bidders competed and the property sold NZ$50,000 over reserve.
“This is a seller’s market without a doubt. We’re getting multiple bidders at auction and multi offers on private treaty properties. It’s a good time to get in and get good money.”
Elsewhere, 37 Blue Gum Place in New Brighton sold for NZ$550,000, 126 Northcote Road in Northcote sold for NZ$430,000, and 1/52 Uxbridge Street in Redwood sold for NZ$310,000.
