The property at 19 Rose Road in Grey Lynn was marketed and sold by Ray White Kingsland Salespeople Tim Hawes and Mark Prunty.
“It’s quite staggering when you look at the figures for this property – we had over 18,000 views online and more than 250 people through during the opens,” Mr Hawes said.
“That translated into eight registered bidders on the day, six of whom actively competed, and that drove the price way above and beyond the CV for the property. We had five people miss out so they’re now out there actively looking for homes to buy.
“The strength of the market isn’t discriminating against anyone. We had young couples, families and downsizers all looking at this one.
“There were just so many buyers coming through. It was super popular because of location and the fact there really was nothing to do to it. It also carried a huge amount of future potential.”
