A house with a good view in Auckland may not be as expensive as many people think, with one with sea views in Torbay selling for $660,000 while one in Glen Eden with good views towards the Waitakeres sold for $465,000 at the latest Harcourts auctions.
This week interest.co.nz has started providing coverage of Harcourts' residential property auctions, with details of auction sales from the firm's Henderson Heights, Browns Bay and Albany offices listed below.
We expect to expand that to provide more comprehensive coverage of Harcourts auctions next week.
Two that stood this week out were the Torbay townhouse (see photo below), which had three bedrooms, two bathrooms an internal garage and a deck positioned to take full advantage of the home's views of Rangitoto and the Hauraki Gulf (see main photo above).
And the Glen Eden property was a fairly typical 90 square metre, three bedroom Keith Hay home on an 871 square metre section with pleasant urban views back towards the Waitakere Ranges (see photos below).
Its selling price of $465,000 could have seen it appeal to either first home buyers or investors.
Other results from the same auctions included a four bedroom Albany house that fetched $990,000, a renovated three bedroom house on an 865 square metre section in Henderson, which went for $590,000, and a 206 square metre home in Henderson Heights which sold for $720,000.
