Now this is a holiday house!

A Melbourne family outbid five registered bidders to claim stunning 17 Cooran Court, Noosa Heads, for $6,571,000, and can’t wait to start using it as a luxury retreat.

The sale Sunday, secured by a winning bid made over the phone, was just another indication of the growth in values over the past few years.

The same property sold three years ago at auction for $3,630,000. That’s close to three million dollars’ worth of growth in three years. The agent was Nic Hunter of Tom Offermann Real Estate.

The woolly weekend of rain and powerful winds did little to dampen the spirits of the Sunshine Coast property market.

Averaging five registered bidders per auction, the final sold count was a staggering 80% of properties sold either prior to, or under the hammer.

During the restrictions placed earlier this year on gatherings of people, many auctions were conducted online.

Agencies continue to embrace and evolve the online auction space and are yielding huge results.

The property at 795-797 Diddillibah Road, Diddillibah (pictured below), was auctioned online with Ray White Rural from the corporate offices in Brisbane.

A total of 17 buyers registered to bid and fought it out with the eventual buyer securing the property for $690,000. The agent was Jason Mattiazzi of Ray White Rural.

17 Moorabinda Street, Buderim, was poised and ready for the sunset session at 6pm Saturday evening, however a prior negotiation led to a successful sale in the last week of the campaign. It will soon be revealed who the buyers are and if you’re curious about the sale price, give Wayne Sweet from Stoke Realty a call.
