Just sold: 41 Lindrum Crescent, Holt. A 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom home with a double garage on a spacious corner block. It sold for $750,000 with a short settlement.
Watch Steve explain how 41 Lindrum Crescent sold. .
The challenge: original kitchen and bathroom
The home still had its original kitchen and bathroom, so buyers were factoring renovation costs into their offers. With wars, interest rate rises and inflation in the headlines, buyers were cautious about how much to spend, especially on a home that needs work after settlement.
The right buyer
A young couple entering the property market saw the opportunity: a great block in a fantastic location where they could put their own stamp on the home over time.
Staying realistic
The sale took a little longer than usual to move through the under offer period. No other buyer was willing to pay more, so we stayed focused on the best possible outcome for our sellers rather than chasing unrealistic expectations. The result was $750,000 with a short settlement, giving the owners certainty and flexibility.
The lesson for Holt sellers
Success isn't always about setting a record. It's about understanding the market, identifying the right buyer and negotiating the best outcome for the property's condition.
