For buyer Jamieson Plumpton, who was at the auction for 78 Railway Parade in Norman Park with his two young daughters last weekend (pictured above), his love for renovations and the south Brisbane location ticked all the boxes for him to bid and buy.
“The two just went together perfectly. Both of my girls go to one of the local schools so it ticked all the boxes for me. I’m really happy to be the winning bidder,” Mr Plumpton said.
“It’s just a fantastic leafy suburb that’s close to the city and close to all the amenities. I’m one of the lucky ones because I’d actually only been looking for the past couple of weeks and now it’s mine I can’t wait to get cracking on it.
“I didn’t have any concerns buying during COVID-19. If you’re buying in a price range that you are comfortable with then you can’t go wrong, in my personal opinion.”
Ray White Metro North Principal (Auctioneer) David Treloar and Sales Executives Zac Muller and Sarah Olsen.
Ray White Metro North Sales Agent Zac Muller sold the property for $545,000 after confident bidding from Mr Plumpton.
“We had 12 registered buyers here - most of whom put their hand up to bid - for what is a renovator’s dream in one of the most sought-after spots south of the river,” Mr Muller said.
“It was a good result around the price the vendors were hoping for so they were happy to sell at that value and we’re happy to help a new family move into Norman Park.
“If you’re looking at selling, then now is the time to do it. There’s no doubt it’s a seller’s market and you can see that by the number of people competing today. Demand is outstripping the supply of property available and there are plenty of sellers out there ready and waiting to buy.”
