Ben Hunt finalises $2.35m sale of Sydney home after Broncos return

Brisbane Broncos star Ben Hunt has inked a $2.35m deal following his move back to Queensland.

NRL Brisbane Broncos star recruit Ben Hunt and his nutritionist wife Bridget have snappily sold their former Sydney home for $2.35m having headed back to Queensland.

The couple’s Caringbah South property had been bought for $1.61m in late 2018.

Designed in the Queenslander style, the five-bedroom, two-bathroom home allows parking underneath on its 866sq m block.

The open plan kitchen, living and dining area opens to a covered deck and landscaped yard.

The 2010-built home was sold on Thursday, Easter eve, by MattBlak Property agent Blake Spooner who was initially guiding $2.2m when it was listed in late March.

It was on the market for 22 days, much quicker that the 63 days median time on market, that PropTrack calculates from the 56 house sales of the past 12 months.

PropTrack puts its median house price at $2,298,500, up around three per cent annually, with rents around $1,280 a week reflecting a three per cent annual rental yield.

Hunt’s Bruce Avenue cul-de-sac home was briefly listed for rent earlier this year seeking $1400 a week through Katrina Strodaha of MattBlak Property.

The Rockhampton-born Hunt made the move to the Brisbane Broncos for the 2025 season where he has played all six games as five-eighth.

His buyers’ agent and former NRL player Matt Srama recently told realestate.com.au that the Hunts have been renting on the southern Gold Coast while looking to purchase.

There has been no recent registered purchase in Queensland, although Hunt does own north of the border at Bridgeman Downs which was bought in 2013 during his first stint at the Broncos.

Last year the family secured an acreage in Newrybar, outside of Byron in the Ballina Shire, paying $2.7m.

The 20ha property has been a luxury farm stay in the portfolio of local entrepreneur Norm Black, the co-owner of TripADeal, and his accommodation superhost wife Fiona.
