Coast sellers going for ‘hammer time’
Paradise’s The Event on January 28 came down to market research.
“We have been in that house for 26 years and decided that it was the right time to make a move,” Mr Henry said.
“Because our house is not your standard house, it’s a dual residence, and from speaking to different people, we felt the only way to get the correct value was to take it to auction.
“The market seems to be very active at the moment so it seems to be the time to sell.”
Ray White Surfers Paradise Group CEO Andrew Bell said the Gold Coast market was primed for auction.
“In so many cases there’s a great sense of satisfaction because sellers have sold their property unconditionally with a degree of confidence that they have achieved the highest price possible,” Mr Bell said. PROPERTY worth millions of dollars goes under the hammer on the Gold Coast this month at Australia’s biggest in-room auction, The Event.
Ray White Surfers Paradise Group (RWSP) has been fielding a raft of buyer inquiries in preparation for its annual auction program, with more than 100 properties going to auction on January 28.
RWSP CEO Andrew Bell said The Event was leveraging off a busy holiday period on the Gold Coast and rising enthusiasm for the Commonwealth Games.
“Our team is particularly excited this year and this is being reflected across the board by the inquiries and feedback we have been receiving for The Event,” Mr Bell said.
“The interstate visitors holidaying on the Gold Coast are showing a great deal of confidence and have nothing but positive comments about the Gold Coast.
“They understand that the city has gone beyond its rollercoaster days in property and that it has entered a new era.”
The Event, held in conjunction with the Home & Living Expo, is being staged at Royal Pines Resort for the first time.
Mr Bell said this year’s program included properties from one-bedroom apartments to acreage homesteads and waterfront mansions.
