Three quarters of the apartments put up for sale at this week's Ray White City Apartments auction sold under the hammer

Ray White City Apartments sold six out of eight under the hammer at this week's apartment auction, with two units passed in.

The properties that sold ranged from a two bedroom apartment in the Metropolis tower that sold for $680,000 to a leasehold apartment in the Hudson Brown building near Vector Arena, which sold for $225,000.

That would have been an "ouch" moment for the vendor of the Hudson Brown apartment, who according to QV.co.nz had paid $469,000 for the property in 2005 before the bottom dropped out of the leasehold market.
