The campaign

How the campaign ran

01
The property

Three bedrooms, one bathroom, 100sqm on 589sqm

Built in 1920 and renovated, with central heating, Lossnay ventilation, a covered entertaining area, flat established gardens and a studio or office space. Concept drawings for an extension came with it.

02
Method

Tender, set to close 12pm Thursday 2 July 2026

A tender puts every buyer on the same date and lets the market set the number rather than the asking price doing it. The LIM and the builder’s report were available after a viewing, so buyers could do their work early.

03
The result

Sold 24 June 2026, before the tender closed

Thirteen days on the market, at $1,155,000 against a $990,000 rating valuation.

Property details, method of sale and tender date from the tommys.co.nz listing T26591, read 7 September 2026. Sale price, sale date and rating valuation from the public record.

Campaign figures are the vendor’s business, not marketing material. I publish them only when the vendor has said I can.

Portals count enquiries differently, so a single total would not mean anything useful.
