Nine properties went under the hammer on Saturday, six of which sold.
LJ Hooker Manuka's Stephen Thompson said a week out from Christmas his team were thrilled to have finished the year with a rare result at 58 Cartensz Street, Griffith.
"It was probably the strongest auction we have had all year," he said. "It sold for $1.215 million which was $100,000 above the reserve. Very seldom does that happen and I don't think it's happened in this market for a few years."
He said 14 registered bidders took part in the sale of the five-bedroom family home which was put on the market just eight days prior.
"It was one of the quickest marketing campaigns I have ever had," he said. "It's a good family home in a good location. I guess it just demonstrates the depth of demand."
Peter Blackshaw agent said Luke McAuliffe said there was standing room only at the midday auction of 41 Greenough Circuit in Kaleen.
Seven bidders took part in the battle for the four bedroom north Canberra home which sold for $680,000.
"The purchasers are a young couple who are 8 months pregnant with their first child," Mr McAuliffe said. "They were keen to secure the home before Christmas."
Positioned in a quiet leafy circuit the property featured generous sized family rooms, a newly renovated kitchen with top of line appliances on a 790 square metre block.
"There are really lovely renovations in the family and kitchen rooms and it was all done with a high attention to detail," he said.
"And, of course, the property was located just a street away from one of Canberra's top primary schools in Kaleen Primary which was a feature that appealed to many of the bidders."
