A significant number of conditional contracts were also drafted across the day, pointing to continued deal flow in the days and weeks ahead, Mr Fong said.
The standout result of the day was 42 Cotula Way, Papamoa, which achieved a sale price of $1,540,000 - making it both the highest sale price and the property that attracted the most competitive bidding.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom property is in the sought-after Palm Springs community and close to local amenities, schools and the beach.
Three buyers registered, with two actively competing on the day.
Mr Fong said the day reflected a clear shift in buyer sentiment.
“There was a noticeable lift in registered bidders at auction, with buyer activity tracking 50 per cent higher than this time last year - clear evidence that confidence is building and the market is gaining traction,” Mr Fong said.
“The increase in registered bidders is a leading indicator of market health, suggesting that buyers who had previously been sitting on the sidelines are re-entering with conviction.”
