Ray White Upper North Shore agent Lisa Davies has sold this beautiful five bedroom home at 9 Northcote Road Lindfield to an overseas buyer in Hong Kong after an inspection via Facetime.

The grand Federation property sold within two weeks of Ms Davies putting it online.

Lisa Davies told WILLIAMS MEDIA “the Lindfield property sold in under two weeks close to the top of its guide of $6.6-$7.1m, we are are starting to see a pattern emerging of Australian expats wanting to secure prestige properties with plans of moving their families home to Australia. The exchange rate advantage and global pandemic combine to make a move to Sydney a very attractive proposition right now is what the buyers are telling me.”

“There is such a limited amount of stock on the market but there’s definitely a lot of buyers looking. You simply cannot sell a secret,” Ms Davies said.

“You have to put it out there if you are selling. There’s huge demand from overseas buyers right now. This is the second property over $6 million that I have sold in the last three weeks to an overseas buyer. There’s a huge appetite for high end prestige homes.

At a glance:

• Second home sold by Ms Davies within 2 weeks over $6m to overseas expat buyers
• Spurred on by low Australian dollar 
• Hong Kong based buyer of Lindfield Home high $6million range
• Taipei based buyer of Killara Home for $6.3million 
• Vendors of Lindfiled home are down-sizers
• Lindfield sale a Suburb record
• FaceTime inspections 

“We are receiving a very high level of overseas buyers  looking for property - spurred on by the low Australian dollar - which gives them an attractive exchange rate advantage, “This was the most viewed home in Sydney last week and you can see why.  

The buyers lives in Hong Kong and will move to Sydney in the next year or so. The sellers are downsizers and I negotiated a deal that was well above their expectations, so they are very happy.” 

The record breaking sale has now broken the top residential sale record in the suburb of Lindfield which stood at $6 million.

The Lindfield sale comes on the back of a similar successful campaign. Less than three weeks ago, Ms Davies sold a multi-million dollar house in nearby Killara, sight effectively unseen, to a buyer in Taipei via a Facetime inspection.

"After many hours on the phone over the Easter weekend I negotiated a sale price of $6.3million for 23 Killara which was well above where the vendors thought the property may sell and reflective of prices we were seeing earlier in the year.”

The Lindfield home is set high in a prestigious east-side setting, which offers a spectacular lifestyle with proportions of living that are reserved for only the most remarkable of residences. 

With its gated entry and substantial 1707sqm block, pool and tennis court, the home is beautifully finished with a commanding street presence. Bespoke interiors deliver every luxury extra including a gym, wine cellar and decadent whole floor master retreat.
