Why this Gold Coast house is the most viewed in Australia this week

THE most viewed property in the country this week has sold days before it was due to go under the hammer.

The Gold Coast property at Miami sold on Thursday night for $1.025 million, two days before its scheduled auction on Sunday.

It had more views on realestate.com.au this week than any other property going to auction across Australia.

The new duplex is modern and has four bedrooms, a neutral palette, wood features and a rooftop terrace. It is also about 500m from the beach.

NGU Real Estate Gold Coast agent Sean Graves, who marketed the property with Edward Smyth, said on Thursday it would potentially sell before auction because it had attracted so much attention in the lead up.

He said house hunters liked its position, quality and deluxe features.

“In the first two weeks, we had over 30 groups through,” he said.

“We also had an offer come forward before auction so there (was) some good interest there.”

He said on Friday it was snapped up by a local buyer who planned to live in it.

According to property records, an older house stood on the block until it was sold for $705,000 last year.

The duplex was built after and the half that sold yesterday hit the market two weeks before a buyer snapped it up.
