Ray White Mt Gravatt clears 100%

IT’S BEEN two weeks since auctions transitioned to the digital space and Ray White Mt Gravatt are setting the pace for under the hammer success with a perfect April campaign clearance rate. The office has sold five from five homes over the past fortnight, a 100% success rate for their auction campaigns.

Last week the three bedroom family home at 421 Newnham Rd, Upper Mt Gravatt sold under the hammer through the office by sales agent Andrew Boman for $540,000. The two and a half week auction campaign drew in strong interest from first home buyers and savvy investors.

“We had approximately 30 groups through the property who were attracted to the good location in a school catchment and the recent renovations done to the home,” Mr Boman said.

The auction called by Ray White selling principal and auctioneer Grant Boman attracted 10 registered bidders with three actively participating. The winning bidder, local buyer Dave Dickson said he wasn’t daunted by the ‘new normal’ auction process.

“We were very excited, there was still that bit of an adrenaline rush waiting for the hammer to crash down but it was a good experience and the second online auction we had been to,” Mr Dickson said.

Grant Boman also sold 19 Ansdell St, Mount Gravatt (pictured above) prior to auction for $562,500 to a Sydney investor. He said the house was listed after isolation laws came into effect across Queensland meaning a traditional auction campaign was not viable.

“I think that the seller was thankful that we did a short auction campaign. We didn’t have any open homes as this was the first one we’ve run with a full ‘online campaign,” Mr Grant Boman said.

“We had two cash unconditional offers prior to the auction and probably would have secured maybe five to six registered bidders but thought it was better to sell prior.”

These sales join 28 Abbeville St, Upper Mt Gravatt that sold for $678,000 and 16 Condong St, Mansfield that went for $595,000, along with 22 Vaughan St, Mt Gravatt that sold prior to auction, all through Grant Boman.
