Quality property, and carefully planned marketing campaigns, did the rest, as you can see from this cross-section of results.

Aberfeldie: 1/9 St Kinnord Street. A sought-after Aberfeldie address added to the appeal of this elegant front-facing three-bedroom townhouse, with three bidders producing $1.08 million at auction.

Airport West: 1/38-40 Highlands Avenue. A central location with all amenities close by made this three-bedroom unit a popular choice for time conscious buyers, resulting in a sale at $618,000.

Airport West: 119 Marshall Road. This impeccably renovated three-bedroom timber home was sold the night before the scheduled auction for a very pleasing $760,000.

Airport West: 157 Halsey Road. A total of six bidders fought it out at the auction of this picture perfect, four-bedroom Federation-style home, with the final bid being an extraordinary $1.43 million. As you can see from the photo, it was one of many results this week that produced smiles all round.
