IT took just one weekend of opens for a renovated character cottage in Norwood, coincidentally also the most-clicked on property on realestate.com.au last week, to sell.
Advertised in The Advertiser’s Property Magazine, the Eastern Courier Messenger and online, the home at 14 Muller St, had an ‘offers by’ campaign, which wasn’t due to end until August 23.
But after more than 160 people attended the opens over a weekend and four offers were made, including one from an international buyer, the three-bedroom property was sold on the Monday, says selling agent Sally Turner, of Klemich Real Estate.
“There was a huge amount of interest,” Ms Turner says, adding she is not surprised to hear of the listing’s popularity online.
“It’s a quiet no-through road in Norwood and Norwood is already very, very popular, which creates a lot of interest.
“It was fully renovated by the owner in 2006 so it was a property you could just move into and start living the Norwood lifestyle.
“I knew from the get-go it was going to sell well.”
While she did not disclose the sale price, Ms Turner says it was above the property’s advertised $725,000 to $745,000 price guide.
There was a broad mix of interest from prospective buyers, says Ms Turner, with a young professional couple eventually securing the property.
“Downsizers, older couples, young professionals, small families, people wanting to walk to Norwood Primary and to work in the city,” she says.
“It had car parking, which for Norwood is very in-demand, you could park up to three cars on the property.
“And of course it was a symmetrical cottage behind a picket fence and Adelaideans have a love of symmetrical cottages.”
Norwood has a median house price of $851,500 and the average time on market is 87 days, according to CoreLogic.
