“The pandemic didn’t affect our decision to buy”

Buyers Ram and Pri (pictured above left – with Sales Agent Karl Anthony – right) had been looking for the perfect property for two years and having missed out on homes at auction previously, they weren't willing to allow COVID-19 stand in their way.

“This property really did tick all of the boxes for us. From the family area upstairs to the granny flat out the back – it was everything that we wanted,” Ram said.

“The pandemic didn’t affect our decision to buy at all. We both have stable jobs and the granny flat also provides an income and in the two years, we’ve been able to save a good amount of money.

“We actually had no intention of bidding at the auction. The agent Karl, who I would certainly use again, convinced me to come along and I joined the auction late.

“I submitted just two bids towards the end and we came away with the keys. We’re so very happy.”

2 Erlestoke Place was marketed and sold by Ray White Castle Hill Sales Executives Karl Anthony and Sara Perry for $1,936,000 – well over expectations.

“This was a sensational auction with a whopping 18 bidders registering – nine of whom actively competed to drive a fantastic result for our vendor who is delighted,” Mr Anthony said.

“There was a huge amount of energy in the campaign with 126 inspections overall – including 29 second inspections, 12 third inspections, and five groups inspecting for the fourth time.

“There was so much appeal to this home with it being on a corner block and having a granny flat that was only built five years ago – as well as being in the catchment area for Cherrybrook Tech – meaning it appealed to a wide array of demographics.

“Our office statistics show that in the last three months, 76 per cent of buyers in Castle Hill have been from the surrounding suburbs as buyers look to take advantage of area upgrades – that coupled with Christmas coming up is driving real urgency in the market.”
