In preparation for a quiet Easter, plenty of homes were up for auction in Canberra and the region over the weekend.
More than 100 homes went to sale with at least eight reaching the $1 million mark. The highest grossing weekend sale was 73 Jacka Crescent, which went under the hammer on Saturday. Hailed as one of Campbell’s finest homes, it has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a four-car garage.
The award-winning home fetched $2,125,000 at auction. It was designed by renowned architect Terry Ring, who has a record-breaking history in Campbell. One of his designs broke the sales record for the suburb at auction last year. The home at Garsia Street topped sales at $2.33 million, with 73 Jacka Crescent not falling too short of the record.
The features of the home at Jacka Crescent include a vast butler’s kitchen with plenty of storage space, climate-controlled wine cellar with cedar timber racks, gas fireplace, coffered ceilings, spotted gum timber floors and al fresco features overlooking the swimming pool and spa.
Independent Property Group agent Andrew Potts said Saturday’s good weather meant plenty of people came out to watch the action.
He said more than 200 people had inspected the property. While about 100 people looked on at the auction, less than 10 registered bidders took to the game.
“Of the people who had seen this home, quite a few came back several times,” he said.
“A home like this does generate a lot of interest because of the features, and it is a standout property in this area.”
Mr Potts said Campbell was a suburb that had seen a transformation over the past few years.
“There are strong results for this suburb in total … There has been a lot of investment in the suburb which is drawing attention to is as well.”
LJ Hooker Manuka principal Stephen Thompson said buyer interest was particularly strong at the moment.
“A lot of people wanted to secure a home before the school holidays,” Mr Thompson said.
“Not just that, it’s more the fact we’re in a stronger market, and the Mr Fluffy factor, there has been a bit of a spike in the market with that.”
