With just a few weeks left of the chilly season, vendors are gearing up for the spring selling season and buyers are returning to the market.
Just over half of the properties to be auctioned on Saturday sold and a small number remained in negotiation in the evening. Several sold before the weekend.
A four-bedroom, Playoust-designed home in Fisher on offer for the first time since it was built in the 1970s was passed in.
The home at 20 Kapunda Street was on a block of 1234 square metres and had views from a large, leafy backyard across Weston Creek to Black Mountain.
Independent Property Group Gungahlin auctioneer Andrew Potts accepted an opening bid of $550,000 for the home before making a vendor bid of $600,000.
The party then placed a bid of $605,000 before the home was passed in for exclusive negotiations.
A builder’s home at 1 Ikara Close in Dunlop attracted strong interest and went under the hammer for $647,500.
Agent Michael Dalton from Luton Properties Weston Creek said there had been five registered bidders for the executive residence and it had been sold above expectation.
He said it was a terrific result and an indication that the market was heating up due to excellent buying conditions, including very low interest rates.
“If I had another five comparable houses today I would have them sold,” Mr Dalton said.
An as-new, modern townhouse at 6/31 Tallara Parkway in Narrabundah sold under the hammer for $577,500.
Peter Blackshaw Manuka agent Louise Harget said there were four registered bidders for the home and it sold to a young couple.
She said buyers had been out in force during the day in the highest numbers she had seen all year.
Ms Harget said it was a great sign for a busy spring with almost 100 groups through her inspections.
The highest sales price for the day was for a well-presented, five-bedroom, two-storey home in Deakin at 24 Galway Place.
The home sold for $1.203 million through Luton Properties Manuka agent Geraldine Collison.
