Last Saturday, Place sold two incredible Brisbane properties at auction, 59 Buena Vista Avenue Coorparoo, known as The Gables, and 31 Waldo Street Norman Park.

Set on approx. 1,942sqm, 59 Buena Vista Avenue is an enviable family estate with a 32m street frontage, traditional façade and established gardens.
Speaking to LUXURY LIST, Heath Williams said 120 groups had inspected 59 Buena Vista Avenue. Seven bidders were registered on the day, with 20 bids, before the residence sold to a local family for $6.3m, breaking the suburb record for Coorparoo by over $1m.

The previous record was $5.15m for the brand new, 6-bedroom residence at 15 Sirius Street Coorparoo which sold on 13 December 2021.
“59 Buena Vista Avenue is a large family home on a large elevated block with stunning city views in a tightly held enclave very close to the CBD,” Heath told LUXURY LIST. “It needs a full renovation so represents a blank canvas for the lucky buyer.”
"Tightly held by the family for 53 years, ‘The Gables’ attracted mostly local interest as potential buyers knew the home growing up and were looking for a large allotment for their own family's 'forever home'." Sarah Hackett continued.

“31 Waldo Street is a low maintenance family home designed by Shaun Lockyer, positioned close to town with incredible river and city views,” Heath explained to LUXURY LIST.
Three bidders were registered on auction day, including one interstate buyer on the phone. After spirited bidding, the home was sold for $3.8m, almost $1m above its previous sale price of $2.9m in December 2020.
The home was sold to a family looking to downsize from large suburban house to a low maintenance home close to the city.

Heath told LUXURY LIST that auction clearance rates are extremely high.
“Stock seems to be around 38% down, so buyer activity is extremely high with massive success rates,” Heath said. “Our office clearance rates are near 100% at auction.”
"Congratulations to the successful families, and thank you to the wonderful sellers for entrusting Sarah Hackett and myself."
