Offers flood in for Australia’s most popular house

Thousands of house hunters liked the look of 27 Bob Barnard Drive, Tugun.

A 30-YEAR-OLD house on a popular Gold Coast street is under offer for well over the asking price following a week of intense interest.

The four bedroom unrenovated residence on 881 sqm at 27 Bob Barnard Drive in Tugun was the most-viewed residential property in Australia on realestate.com.au last week.

Buyers fell in love with the presentation at 27 Bob Barnard Dr, Tugun.

Almost 13,000 house hunters took a look online while more than 750 people physically inspected the property over four days.

“I had 243 separate groups view the property between Saturday morning and Tuesday lunchtime last week,” said Stewart Reed, principal of Stewart Reed Properties.

“I doubt I’ll ever see anything like that again in my real estate career, it was really something.”

That interest translated to 30 written offers with a local family eventually signing a contract for an undisclosed sum well over the price guide of $605,000 to $665,000.

The location, pricing and presentation all contributed to the appeal, Mr Reed said.

“Bob Barnard Drive is the premier street in Tugun,” he said.

“That property was listed for under $700,000 because it had not been touched in 30 years.

“We presented the property as beautifully as possible but sent a message to the market that we will transact and it’s really up to the buyers to fight it out.”

The 881 sqm block includes a pool and backyard area.

Alongside keen interest from renovators, Mr Reed said the staged presentation attracted a group of buyers willing to pay more than $700,000.

“This bunch of buyers felt the property was so beautiful they didn’t care that the house was 30 years old because they fell in love with the presentation,” he said.

“We got a response and a sale price which has left the sellers smiling.”

Mr Reed said there was a build up of selective buyers in the marketplace who are only interested in properties which are presented and priced to sell.

“There is a pool of buyers that is building up because they are only buying properties which are impeccably presented or well priced,” he said.

“Even in a cautious market like this, buyers will step up to part with money if they believe they’re getting the best buy or the perfect solution to their lifestyle with nothing left to do.”
