Just sold: 5 Quinlivan Crescent, Dunlop

Just sold: 5 Quinlivan Crescent, Dunlop. A 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a double garage. Well maintained but still largely original, it sold for $950,000 through a pre-auction offer after 15 days.

Watch Steve explain how 5 Quinlivan Crescent sold. .

Small change, big difference

The owners were open to advice on presentation. One of our key recommendations was to remove an old, rotting pergola in the backyard. It was a small job, but it freshened up the whole outdoor area and helped buyers focus on the home's potential instead of the maintenance.

Auction campaign, early offers welcome

We launched as an auction campaign while actively encouraging pre-auction offers. That created strong competition and urgency early in the campaign.

The result

At the time, the average Dunlop house was spending around 34 days on the market. This one sold after 15 days, through a pre-auction offer, for $950,000.

The lesson for Dunlop sellers

Preparation doesn't have to be expensive. Removing one tired feature can change how buyers see the whole home.
