Under the hammer this Saturday

RAY WHITE agents will be hanging out the yellow and white banners this Saturday as 204 auctions are scheduled across Australasia for the leading group.

Going around the grounds, let’s kick off in Sydney. Pretty from the street, and absolutely ready to move into is this 39 Ethel St, Hornsby home (pictured above).

These vendors have done the hard yards and the home is as fresh as a new build, complete with an attractive street aspect, and a backyard that’s big enough to take on the biggest of backyard barbeques.

Agent Nancy Zhang from Ray White Carlingford says they’ve had 95 families through in the four week pre-auction period, with several swinging by for a second and third inspection.

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is under the hammer at 12.30pm on site.

At 2.00pm it’s auction time in bustling Cabramatta (pictured above) where a three-bedroom, one-bathroom freestanding cottage is looking for love.

With a level 584sq m block, in a street where others have already capitalised on their purchases, this one is set to go well.

Agent Steven Milovanovic from Ray White Cabramatta says they’ve been knocking back pre-auction offers, confident that the auction will bring the maximum price.

The price guide for 34 Eurabbie Street is $800,000.

After lunch excitement is offered in the action packed suburb of Frenchs Forest.

Agent Brian Fairweather says following a price adjustment to a guide of between $1.2M-$1.3M, interest is now on the boil with 88 groups having inspected the property (pictured above) so far.

The home at 45 Adams Street offers a large block with room to potentially put in a granny flat.

The action starts at 3.00pm.

Over to Adelaide and solid as a rock, but far more attractive, is this four-bedroom home on Wattle Street in Fullarton (pictured above) .

Nine-pane sash windows, wide corridors, high ceilings, grapevine covered terraces – what more could bidders want? Interest has been very high with offers already coming in.

Complete with large rear garden, this family home is going under the hammer at 10.00am, under the stewardship of agent Scott Robinson of Ray White Fullarton.

Still in SA, and it’s time to bring imagination to the party at 31 Sycamore Crescent,Hawthorndene (pictured above).

Agent Luke Poklington says he’s had 25 groups through to this deceased estate in just two opens.

Despite the fact vendors are looking at just land value, the property is more than liveable, and could turn out to be an astute purchase.

Hidden on site is a half basketball court, an above ground pool, even a separate granny flat.

Land value of a similar nature sits around the $363,000 mark, but this land has a functioning house. The hammer goes up at 1.00pm.

Victoria is having a big weekend for auctions, with this very chic property in the spotlight at 1.00pm.

145 Roberts Street, Yarraville (pictured above) boasts an inner-west lifestyle with the perks of peaceful park views in this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with masses of glass to let in the light and views of autumn foliage.

Set across two storeys, it is executive chic with loads of extras, including its own courtyard and gourmet goodies for the home cook.

Agent Peter Gindy from Ray White Seddon will be taking questions and handing out paddles ready for the on site auction.

With just one owner since the first brick was laid, the three-bedroom home at 1 Redbank Court, Kings Park (pictured above) is attracting a lot of attention.

Agent Lam Nguyen of Ray White St Albans reports 61 parties have come through this month, with a few coming back for a second and third time.

Attracting bidders is the fabulous condition of the solid home, large grounds at 723 sq m and good proximity to all things we hold dear such as schools, shops and transport.

The guide price has been set between $480,000-$520,000 and the gathering bidders will be in place for a midday start.

Ducking out to the country and South East Victoria's Drouin, where developer interest is very high with this rural block, with five registered bidders and 30 groups expected to attend.

With potential for subdivision into six blocks, the 3ha block at 95 Binbeal Road, Drouin (pictured above) could satisfy growing demand from families leaving Melbourne, drawn in by good schools and a healthy local economy.

Agent Dale Atkin says the property is a deceased estate, with the grandson of the former owner keen for a sale.

Set to go at 11.30am, this could be one to watch.

Queensland is adding all the glamour this week with this knockout Hamptons style mansion in Southport (pictured above) going under the hammer.

The waterside mansion (with own pontoon) on a 970 sq m block, includes five oversized bedrooms, a superb pool, a secluded driveway entrance and views to make you swoon.

The open kitchen (pictured below) is picture perfect.

An absolute dream, it is looking for a very special bidder to come forward at 11.00am on site at 1A Yacht Street – even the address is cool.
