Minimoke, are you being sarcastic in your comment?
Two Auckland houses have sold for well over their reserves after drawing big crowds at open homes and auctions.
Jane Palmer, of LJ Hooker, said the fact that interest rates had hit a new low was thought to be part of the impetus for strong bidding on the properties.
Ian Jowsey, sales manager and auctioneer for LJ Hooker Ponsonby, said Wednesday's 6pm auction drew 150 to 180 people and strong bidding for both places.
A house at 37 Pine St in the Mt Eden/Balmoral area was valued at $590,000, had a reserve of $625,000 and sold for $730,000.
"Rich in character is this refurbished three- to four-bedroom transitional villa," the agency said, citing west-facing indoor/outdoor flow to a generous lawn, in a quiet street and near popular schools, village shops and transport.
The second house, at 63 Mulgan St in New Windsor, had a reserve of $280,000, was valued at $350,000 and sold for $340,000. It was marketed as needing work.

A house at 278a Remuera Road, Auckland has just sold for $1.9m – exactly its 2008 rating valuation – indicating no drop in property values over the past year.
The property has had historic value for decades – If QV do the job some posters here think they do then that value would have been recognised in previous valuations. And if people think they can hang 7,800 sales, from housing stock of 1.6m houses, out as “The Market” then the three recent Auckland sales on this thread can surely be used as an indicator.
Sir Ed's house Mini ?.
