Great crowds attended two Old Torquay properties auctioned by McCartney Real Estate over the weekend.<\/p>\n
First to auction was 3 Short Street, which got underway with a crowd of more than 70 people in attendance with bidding kicked off on a genuine bid of $800,000 before being passed in and sold moments after the auction for $832,000 to John and Tracey Sanderson who are both from Sunbury.<\/p>\n
They plan to lease the property initially before demolishing and building their retirement home in the next 1-2 years.<\/p>\n
McCartney director Tim Carson said that the interest in the property had been good during the four-week auction campaign where they marketed it in the $830,000 to $850,000 range.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Vendor Naranda Watson was extremely pleased with the result and was selling the property on her late dad’s behalf,\u201d Mr Carson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShortly after we also Auctioned 39 Munday Street in Old Torquay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was only the second time this property had been put up for sale in 80 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, the interest had been good with a crowd of more than 100 people attending to see the property passed in on a Vendors Bid of $2,350,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
