The AgeIndependentCenter14 hr. agoOn July 4, 2026, a developer purchased a three-bedroom home in North Epping, NSW, for $2.28 million, intending to demolish it and build a duplex. The property, located at 4 Grigg Avenue, had a reserve price of $2.05 million and a guide price of $1.95 million. Among 10 registered bidders, seven were owner-occupiers interested in renovating the 1960s home. The winning bidder, representing a developer, was on holiday in Thailand and used a buyer’s agent. The seller, a retiree, is relocating to Western Australia. The agent noted the property’s potential for redevelopment due to its size and location. Similar trends were observed in other Sydney suburbs, where properties were selling quickly despite market challenges.

The property had a reserve price of $2.05 million and a guide price of $1.95 million. Among 10 registered bidders, seven were owner-occupiers interested in renovating the 1960s home. The winning bidder, representing a developer, was on holiday in Thailand and was assisted by a buyer’s agent. The seller, a retiree, is relocating to Western Australia. The property’s 19-meter frontage and location made it suitable for redevelopment. In a separate sale, a two-bedroom cottage at 20 Hopetoun Street sold for $1.465 million after a competitive bidding process. Both properties were part of a broader auction event in Sydney.
