2/26 Huxtable Avenue
Lane Cove

A firm sales strategy and personal assistance in styling were instrumental in achieving a solid price for this tastefully upgraded two-bedroom apartment at 2/26 Huxtable Avenue, Lane Cove.

Agent Debbie Jepson was referred to the owners through the happy vendors of 4/11 Little Street, Lane Cove. Debbie comments, “Buyer interest was really strong as the apartment had been newly fully renovated and had two parking spaces, which is rare for a two-bedder. I helped style the home personally and made sure that the renovations were 100% complete and finished to a really high standard so that it made a perfect first impression.

 

“To get the most out of the market we decided that no early offers were to be invited – it was only to be sold at auction, with a short campaign of 23 days. I communicated effectively with my client right throughout the journey so that they knew exactly what was going on every step of the way. When it came to our buyers, there was a lot of phone interaction to gauge their sentiment – straightforward feedback was a really important part of the process.

“Enquiry was strong and all in all 93 groups inspected the property, with 14 contracts issued. Some seemingly keen buyers did seem to come and go, finding it difficult to maintain enthusiasm and by the end of the campaign we only had a few serious buyers and ultimately two registered bidders. However, at the end of the day, that’s all it takes. Our auctioneer Vic Larusso did an incredible job and worked tirelessly to get every dollar from the buyers, with the property selling under the hammer on 18^th February 2023 for approximately $800,000, which was a great result in the rising interest rate environment.”
