Spring selling season continues to produce cracking results and huge crowds across the harbour city.
Entry level homes had many young local families battling it out, with a Tempe home selling for more than $300,000 above reserve to first home buyers.
A crowd of around 40 people gathered in the small backyard to see the home at 65 Station St sell for $1.618m.

“The vendors are over the moon, we were not expecting that.”
With over 100 groups viewing the property throughout the campaign, Mr Moraitis said entry level homes in the inner west were far and few between.
“There are not many homes like this available from a stock and agent point of view, so when they come up, they go,”
He said that interest rate rises hadn’t dampened the appetite for entry level homes in the inner west due to the lack of stock in the area.
The home was a free standing three bedroom home.
Mr Moraitis said the sellers were investors who had owned the property for thirty years.
The home was a three-bedroom freestanding cottage with a levelled green grass backyard with a modern kitchen and bathroom renovation.
The winning bid was placed by buyers agent Angus Lander from Inner West Nest on behalf of a Summer Hill couple.

“My clients were first home buyers that were mainly looking in the inner west area, they’d been looking for a couple of months on their own before they came to me,” Mr Lander said.
“For them, they were looking for an opportunity to add value, Tempe is an up and coming area and they are hoping to live in it for a few years and do some renovations,” he said.
