Largs Bay home sells after nine days on market following fast-tracked auction

A popular Largs Bay home that went under the hammer just over a week after it hit the market has been snapped up in a million-dollar deal.

The 1930s bungalow at 103 Wills St sold for $1.475m at its highly anticipated auction on Saturday, which was brought forward a week because there was such high demand for it.

Selling agent Liz Miles, of Pilgrim RE, said there were 11 registered bidders on the day – slightly up on the eight offers she received after the first open inspection the previous weekend.

She said the buyers were a couple with a child who were upsizing from Northgate.

The Largs Bay property at 103 Wills St sold under the hammer on the weekend.

The auction was brought forward after the selling agent received several offers following the first open inspection.

Eight prospective buyers made an offer for the home before auction and 11 registered to bid on the day.

“The auction was brought forward as interest was high, with multiple offers received,” she said.

“I wanted to make it fair and transparent to all so we had the property on market for nine days.

“The vendors are ecstatic, over the moon with the result.”

Ms Miles said the four-bedroom home on a 697sqm block was particularly appealing to buyers because it had been renovated and was a good size with plenty of space.

“There is quite a good studio out the back as well so it’s really appealing to families with teenagers and older parents moving in,” she said before the auction.

The auction was one of several held over the weekend that attracted multiple keen bidders.

There were 12 prospective buyers registered to bid on a Salisbury North home, which sold under the hammer for $865,000.

The property has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

A detached studio in the backyard was a big drawcard.

It sold for $1.475m under the hammer.

Dev Chaudhary secured the property at 20 International Ave on his mother’s behalf as she was travelling overseas.

“We saw this one had a big land size and suited what our family needed,” the 21-year-old said.

“It’s my mum who is buying the house – my brother and I are students working part time but we are going to move in with her.

“Now we are waiting for mum to get back and then we are going to celebrate.”

Meanwhile, a Tea Tree Gully property attracted five registered bidders before selling for $1.035m.

Buyers Pranisha Shakya and Rajol Tuladhar had been looking for a new home for them and their one-year-old son for months before snapping up the six-bedroom house at 5 Treetop St.

“We have been searching for a family home, something bigger than what we have at the moment – a home that has a homely feeling – and this house was just perfect,” Ms Shakya said.
