Interest high as auctions fly
February 10, 2008 12:00am Article from: Sunday Herald Sun
TALK of rising interest rates was swept away as buyers bid long and hard at Melbourne auctions yesterday.
The lower end of the market, which suffers most when interest rates rise, performed surprisingly well.
In some pockets, prices of properties appealing to first-home buyers went through the roof.
A three-bedroom cedar house in Ferntree Gully sold for $30,000 more than its asking price after two buyers went head to head.
The unrenovated, 25-year-old house at 32 Kia-Ora Pde sold for $350,000 after being listed for private sale at $320,000.
The top end of the market showed no signs of interest rate jitters, indicating a strong opening to the year's auctions.
The market passed its first real test of 2008 without missing a beat, prompting excited agents to suggest prices were shaping up for a further year of rises.
The difficulties of housing affordability are causing up to 300 Victorian families to lose their homes under court orders every month, but that does not seem to be having an impact on sales.
At a mortgagee sale in Wantirna South yesterday, a three-bedroom brick house at 49 Tate Ave sold for $415,000 after attracting 120 parties to inspect it.
Agents said shortage of houses was driving demand.
In Pakenham, agent Teresa Thomas, of Stockdale & Leggo, said two houses attractive to first-home buyers sold within 12 hours of being listed, with at least four offers for each property.
In St Albans, two first-home buyer properties sold for $237,000 and $265,000 within three days.
Agent Benny Nguyen, of Sweeney Estate Agents, said rising rents were pushing young buyers to secure property.
Agent Michael Coen, of Hocking Stuart in Albert Park, said competition was hot at yesterday's auctions, forcing prices more than 10 per cent above reserves. |
