Around 20kms south of Sydney’s CBD is the 2.45pm auction of a deceased estate (above) with water views and deep waterfront access.
Ray White South Hurstville director Maurice Maroon said 5 Queens Rd, Connells Point had caught the attention of families keen on knocking down the existing house and building a dream home on the 816sq m block.
“It’s a family suburb, right on the water with lots of cafes, parks and good local schools,” Mr Maroon said.
“The property has been held the same family for over 40 years. We’ve probably had 30 to 40 groups through.”
The price guide falls in the early $1 million bracket. |

Sparking a high level of buyer interest is a north-facing three bedroom home (above) at Sydney’s Seven Hills that’s going to auction at midday with a price guide of $650,000 to $700,000.
“We’re averaging in western Sydney between three and seven people through open homes, but we’re averaging on this one between 10 to 15 people per open,” Ray White Oatlands associate director Broderick Wright said of the enquiry into 52 Orana Ave.
“I think it’s the price point scenario, combined with genuine sellers. It’s a realistic price guide for the suburb and a good property within the area. There’s a fair mix of investors but the core market is young couples stepping out of apartments and townhouses or jumping out of a rental.” |

In the Wollongong suburb of Windang, a new Hamptons-style home (above) adjacent to bush reserve is going to auction at 10am with a price guide of $1.3 million.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 2 Boronia Ave is around 40 metres to the beach, 15 minutes to Wollongong CBD and an 80 minute drive to Sydney.
“We’ve had the best part of 100 people view the property,” Ray White Shellharbour City principal Ben Cohen said.
“It’s a beautiful Hamptons-style home offering ultimate privacy being right on the reserve and a short walk through to the beach.”
Outstanding features include high ceilings, imported Turkish marble tiles, provincial tapware, custom-made Hamptons period cornices and skirtings, industrial-grade ducted air conditioning, a fireplace and pizza oven. |

To Brisbane, where you can drive your boat right up to a tightly-held riverfront property (above) going to auction at 11am.
Zoned medium density, the 873sq m site at 39 Griffith St, New Farm is one of only a limited selection on the most prestigious inner-city reach of the Brisbane River with uninterrupted deep-water vessel mooring.
There is no boardwalk obstructing access or interrupting the spectacular river and CBD views from the grand multi-level home, which has been held by the one family for 20 years.
“A lot of people love the history of New Farm and love coming through the property for that reason,” Ray White New Farm’s Nicholas Given said.
“The owners have been genuinely wonderful to work with.” |

Earlier in the day on Brisbane’s northside, a large five bedroom home (above) is going under the hammer through Ray White Ascot’s Dwight Ferguson and Damon Warat.
The 885sq m property at 10 Sapsford St, Northgate includes a swimming pool and large outdoor entertaining area.
“It’s a home someone could buy and raise their family in for 20 or 30 years because of its functional layout,” Mr Warat said.
“We’ve had a good amount of interest. It’s the affordability factor. The value for money you get in Northgate for a big family home, you’d get the same home in Clayfield or Ascot for double the price.”
The family-friendly property, going to auction at 9am, is within 10kms of the CBD and close to Brisbane Airport, as well as within walking distance of Nundah Village. |

House hunters are loving the option of walking to Westfield Carindale, if interest in 59 Banwell Crescent (above) is any guide.

“It’s big land with a beautiful home that’s been fully renovated, from the plumbing to new walls,” Mr Kural said.
“We’ve seen a really good mix of families show interest. The renovation is just perfect and includes a tiled wall feature which we’ve had multiple people take photos of.” |

Another huge family home will go under the hammer at 4pm, this one’s through Ray White Albany Creek’s James Gwynne.
Only 13kms from Brisbane’s CBD is the 1,681sq m property (above) set back from the road at 228 Maundrell Tce, Aspley.
“It’s the Aussie dream,” Mr Gwynne said.
“The size of the block appeals as you’ve got room for the pool and the kids to play.”
The home is between Aspley Primary, Craigslea Primary and Craigslea High School.
Major bus routes are a short walk away, with Prince Charles Hospital, Holy Spirit Hospital and Westfield Chermside all accessible within minutes by car. |

In Melbourne, Ray White Epping’s John Metaxas is expecting a good turnout at the 11am auction of 34 Bail St, Epping.
The modern three bedroom house (above) has a price guide of $520,000 to $572,000.
“There’s been strong interest, more because of the location,” Mr Metaxas said.
“It’s in that central Epping area and the price range, being under the $600,000 mark, also comes into play.” |

To Adelaide where 68 groups have inspected a gorgeous bluestone villa dating back to the early 1900s.
The renovated four-bedroom property (above) at 4 Cross St, West Hindmarsh is going to auction at 11am through Ray White Grange sales agent Nick Beneke.
“It’s a pretty location, surrounded by other character homes and convenient to the city while still close to the western beaches,” Mr Beneke said.
“Very few homes in the area have been done up like this one. There’s also a really slow turnover, so it's a tightly held area. People don’t like moving out of West Hindmarsh.” |

Over in Perth, three lots of cleared land are going under the hammer at 11am in a suburb where land is at a premium.
The sale of Lot 1-3 at 11 Nicholli St, Duncraig (above) is an opportunity families who couldn’t previously afford to move into the area are snapping at, according to Ray White North Quays’ Steph Shepherdson.
“The one original lot has been subdivided and will be auctioned off in three lots, one after the other,” Ms Shepherdson said.
“The interest level will be high from buyers, sellers and locals as Duncraig has in the last eighteen months undertaken change due to rezoning. This area falls into the catchment for Carine Senior High School, which was named WA Secondary School of the Year in 2017. So, it’s an affordable way for families to get into the area. It’s also been attracting downsizers coming off larger 700 to 800 square metre properties.” |

On Sunday at 2pm, there’s a beauty of a Gold Coast renovated home going under the hammer through Ray White Tugun principal John Parkes.
Just 350m from the ocean, at 30 Twelfth Ave, Palm Beach, is a Hamptons-style house (above) with its own Instagram handle - @palm-villa.
Seller Zina Zraikat said the property was a “disaster” when she started the transformation eight years ago.
“We created everything based on a feeling of comfort, to create a relaxed social environment,” she said.
“It was a real project, but a project of love.” |
