Ms Fewster said the auction kicked off high at $3 million and that knocked out six of the other bidders.
“It was standing room only at the house as we had more than 80 people watching on. It was a very exciting auction. The opening bid was $3 million and that turned out to be from the underbidder. A local family moving into the area won the keys today and our sellers were the estate’s executors and also very happy with the result,” she said.
“The market is hot, still more buyers than sellers as we have limited supply. And supply cannot be fixed in a hurry, so I don't see the market dynamics changing anytime soon.”

Ms Blum said it had been a busy campaign considering the apartment had some quirky features, like an outdoor laundry!
“It was an older building which had been renovated and we had good numbers through it. A first home buyer (pictured here) won the keys today. He had been looking for six months, and he had missed out on a few multi-offer situations and that’s why we love auctions as they are so transparent. It makes so much sense for both the buyers and the sellers. This is still a very busy market and there’s no signs of activity slowing down at all. We’ll be working right up to Christmas and it is still a seller’s market."
