A house with a weather board and brick Sydney has sold more than $ 4 million, only a few days after the reserve bank has reduced its first interest in more than four years.
The real estate in Finalyson Street, Lane Cove went under the hammer on Saturday and sold for $ 4.16 million – with the median real estate price for the $ 3.5 million suburb.
The modest house with one floor of 695 m² has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a garage for one car and was purchased by a family from the UK that recently moved to Australia.
“We are now a few weeks ago with auctions, but this is probably the most competitive auction we have had this year,” the sale of agent Julia Sikora from McGrath Lane Cove told Domain.
Only three bidders have used it for the house, which had been held by the same family since 1976, and pushed the price $ 665,000 above the reserve, in a sign trust returns for borrowers on the real estate market.

But the subsequent tariff reductions are not guaranteed, because Australia follows lessons from other countries.
“Learning from abroad is that disinflation can be bumpy, it does not go back to Target in a straight line,” Mrs. Bullock told politicians on Friday.
“The board remains careful with the prospects for further policy reduction.”
In Nieuw -Zeeland and Canada, for example, interest rates have risen much more and they ran faster, but their unemployment rates are relatively increased.
The labor market of Australia has largely stopped in comparison, but this has caused various uncertainties for the RBA to navigate.
“We can be satisfied with the progress that has been made so far, although the work has certainly not been done,” said Mrs. Bullock.
