Sydney had the nation's top auction result on the weekend prior to Christmas when a record $10.55 million was secured for a triplex at South Coogee through Sotheby's International.

Agent Michael Pallier noted there were 13 registered bidders with the buyer being a local family.

The oceanfront art deco 1940s building at 1 Wolseley Rd had last traded in 1989 at $776,000.

It was offered by the family of Selina Corkhill, the head of investment banking at the Sydney branch of the Bank of China, and widow of architect Tony Corkhill.

South Coogee's previous highest sale was in November last year at $9.8 million for a contemporary four level mansion which sold to find manager Duncan Saville. 

There was a recent sale at Coogee at $12.85 million when the venture capitalist, Marc Marano, bought on Gordons Bay, known as Sydney’s Little Amalfi Coast.

Marano left his family’s inner Sydney estate agency Oxford Agency five years ago to join the fitness franchise F45, and moved to the US two years ago to lead its expansion.

The off market sale bettered the Coogee suburb record by $3.85 million, set six years ago at $9 million.

Supercar driver Liam Talbot and original Hi-5 star Charli Robinson have paid a suburb record $5.1 million for a new home in Chandler.

The home, in the south-east of Brisbane, was built in 2018 on its one hectare block after the former home sold for $1.4 million in 2013.

The new home, dubbed the James Bond House, comes with a 16 car garage.

<img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/3/17/Chelmer%202.jpg">

The Canberra auction price record has been set by a home in Red Hill which sold under the hammer for $5.85 million.

It was <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-act-red+hill-132279254" target="_blank">set on the pricey Mugga Way</a> which is the home to some of Canberra's most expensive residences.

The property was bought by a local ACT family who first saw the home at the premarket VIP viewing.

The mid 1930s-built English manor-style home with dormer windows, high ceilings and French doors is surrounded by landscaped gardens. It has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. 

 <img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/25/30%20Mugga%20Way%20Red%20Hill%202.jpg">

There's a banquet size dining room with an original open fireplace, a formal lounge with open fire and stained-glass feature windows and a family room with cedar ceiling.

A three car garage with 460 bottle wine cellar sits separately from the main residence. Upstairs there's a games room and a self-contained one bedroom apartment. 

In the vast 5,110 sqm grounds is a 16 metre swimming pool with a conservatory like pool house and a full size tennis court.

Peter Blackshaw agents Mario Sanfrancesco and Andrew Chamberlain secured the sale.

“A strategic four-week marketing campaign included a mix of print media, digital, social and local radio advertising, lead to interest by several well- positioned parties”, Sanfrancesco said.

 <img alt="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/25/30%20Mugga%20Way%20Red%20Hill%201.jpg">

The property was trading for the first time in over three decades.

“The home presented a rare opportunity to buyers – it’s not often that a home of this calibre, set on a large 5,110sqm block comes to market – nonetheless, backing onto Red Hill Nature Reserve”, Sanfrancesco added.

“Buyers looking for this calibre of property are quite particular in their requirements.

When they find a property that meets those requirements, they are willing to act quickly - so marketing campaigns at this level need to create both impact and urgency.”

Sanfrancesco said the number of purchasers at the top end of the market is increasing.

"The national capital is undoubtedly one of the steadiest markets in the nation – underpinned by the strongest real estate economy in capital city Australia," Ryder suggests. 

The sale broke the previous record which was set two years ago when Luton Properties sold a home on Deakin's Hotham Crescent for $5.75 million.

An iconic L.A. mansion has come on the market for the first time in decades, with an eye watering price tag of $225 million.
Located at 10644 Bellagio Road, the property spans 8.4 acres and has sixty-four rooms.
It was built in 1938 by famed architect James E. Dolena, and is known as Casa Encantada.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/6/Bellagio%20Road.jpg" alt="">
In 1950, hotelier Conrad Hilton purchased it from its original owner for $225,000.
He then sold it to David H. Murdock for $12.4 million in 1979, and Gary Winnick purchased it for $94 million in 2000.
The mansion and grounds have reportedly hosted some of the most significant social, charitable and political events in the United States, welcoming Presidents and Hollywood royalty alike over its 80 years.
Despite the rapid growth of the city around it, the compound remains without neighbours.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/11/6/10644%20bellagio%20road%20LA%202.jpg" alt="">

If the residence is to draw a buyer at its $225 million asking price, it will comfortably become the most expensive house in America.

A Hastings Street apartment on Noosa's priciest beachfront strip has sold for a record $8.25 million.
The three bedroom apartment is in the pricey Twenty Three Hastings block.
It was sold after a very short listing period in August by Tom Offermann Real Estate and beat the former record, held since 2006 when the penthouse in the nearby Noosa Court on Hastings sold for $8.2 million.
The living spaces of the triplex garden apartment comes with pool plus direct beach access.
The listing agent Mal Cox described it as one of the finest apartments he’s had the privilege to market.
The sale comes after the Tom Offermann agency secured $6.1 million for a <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/99500-buyers-of-6-1-million-hastings-street-noosa-holiday-penthouse-revealed" target="_blank">nearby Hastings Street penthouse</a>.
Tom Offermann says there's a resurgence in beachfront property sales and there’s no sign of it changing soon.
“Noosa Main Beach is one of a very few true north-facing beaches on the east coast of Australia,” Offermann says.
“Noosa has an amenable sub-tropical climate and a town brimful with natural assets which turns holiday makers into property buyers, something I have experienced over 30 years.
The Noosa apartment market recorded the strongest capital growth of any unit market across the country over the last year with values soaring nearly 25 per cent.
"The investment potential speaks only of enviable financial success for those who are fortunate to acquire their piece of Noosa Heads ’hottest real estate.”

The sale of the newly completed Westin Perth Hotel broke both the 2018 and the overall Perth record for largest single single asset transaction, according to JLL.

The sale of Westin Perth also includes Hibernian Place offering an outdoor plaza of 2,000 sqm.
Hibernian place has an existing DA 36,545 sqm of Grade A office.
Mr Durran said, "despite competitive market conditions the Westin Perth has performed strongly since opening in April 2018."

YTL first entered the Australian hotel market in 2012 with their $415 million purchase of the Marriot Portfolio, including hotels in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
