Is fear of missing out (FOMO) back again? It certainly was at an auction in Coburg where there were 12 bidders. A house in Higginbotham Street sold for $1,256,000, $156000 or 14% over the reserve. A young couple won the battle from 11 other bidders for one of the most hotly contested auctions in recent times.
Investors continue to make their way back into the marketplace as conditions improve. An investor paid $172,000 over reserve to beat four bidders for a townhouse in Burwood. The townhouse at 2/29 Ireland St had strong competition as it was a turnkey modern property.
