Over the past week, this New Town property has been Tasmania’s most popular home on realestate.com.au.

But you can’t buy it. It’s already sold.

Built in the early 1900s, No.12 Harding St, New Town is a character-filled, comfortable, expertly updated two-bedroom home. And it was listed for sale at a sharp $695,000-plus.

There’s little wonder why it was so popular with buyers.

Peterswald director Nick Morgan said they launched it last Tuesday, and it was sold by Saturday afternoon.

“This is something we are seeing in the sub-$750,000 price bracket, there is strong competition from buyers,” he said.

“From our perspective, activity in this part of the market has been picking up over the past eight weeks. It was fairly relaxed prior to that.

“That’s young people, others who are in their late 30s or early 40s, people who haven’t bought before but want to capitalise on opportunities like the duty exemption or first-home grant.

“And there are investors, too, particularly from interstate. NSW and Qld buyers are back in the mix now.”

In New Town, Mr Morgan said the purchaser was a younger, locally-based buyer.

It sold for $745,000 in a cash deal.

“The vendor was very excited about the outcome,” he said.

“It was nice to see the home secured by an owner-occupier who was up against five other offers.”

No.12 boasts polished hardwood floors, a spacious living area, large windows and feature wallpaper.

The master bedroom includes two walk-in closets and a private toilet, while the second bedroom features built-in storage.
