The Sold Story | 1354 Whangaparaoa Road, Army Bay

Every property has a story… here is the Sold Story for 1354 Whangaparaoa Road

When given the opportunity to take Roger & Grace’s unique Stone Cottage onto the market, we were so excited, it’s not every day you come across a very unique construction like this! They were also planning on moving back to the UK so it was crucial to get them the best price before they boarded they plane.

The Stats
Sale Price: $759,000
CV Price: $810,000
Method: Auction – Sold Post
Days on Market: 42

The Process
We had some tough shoes to fill as our clients previous experience with being on the market resulted with their property selling within a week! However, after going over the current market conditions and different selling methods our clients decided to go with the auction process.

The Campaign
We had the property photographed as well as a property video and advertised online including Trade Me, Realestate.co.nz, Harcourts.co.nz, Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn. We ran four weeks of advertising prior to auction date and included four full page adverts in the local real estate newspaper.

The Deal
We met our buyers on the Sunday following the auction after we moved to a fixed price. They came from the wider Auckland Region and thought it would make a great holiday home. Located so close to Army Bay beach as well as Shakespear Regional Park, the location definitely had a lot to offer! Our Sunday open home was super busy and our buyers didn’t want to miss out, so after a short negotiation both parties agreed to a conditional offer and full asking price.
