“There are a lot of buyers out there”

There was no place quick like home for sellers Anthony and Deborah Godden (pictured above left with Ray White Ashgrove Sales Agent Tamara Lee) on the weekend as 36 Confederate Street sold for $937,000 in Red Hill.

“We’re relocating back to SA to be nearer to family and Anthony also has a new job, so we’re very happy with the outcome of the auction,” they said.

“We always try to buy in the market we sell in as well – that’s the reality of it – so it doesn’t really matter when you sell or buy, as long as you stay close to the market at the time.

“There are a lot of buyers out there and there’s not a lot of stock around. Money is cheap at the moment and buyers are willing to pay a reasonable price.”

With the sun beating down on Brisbane, Ray White Ashgrove Sales Agent Tamara Lee (pictured above right with Ray White Auctioneer Phil Parker), managed the successful campaign.

“The campaign was incredibly active throughout with more than 85 groups coming through with the property attracting a cross-section of buyer profiles,” Ms Lee said.

“It’s a fantastic time to be selling your home because buyers really are looking to get things done unconditionally this side of Christmas – the only way to do that is via an auction.

“We had seven registered bidders for this one, with four of them active, and there was strong competition in the bidding. The underbidder was aggressive but was eventually edged out.”
