Murdoch is going to have to spend millions more on renovations landscaping etc. he's basically only bought the property at slightly over land value (look at the photos the place needs alot of work). <br /><br />In past years many homes have sold for well over that figure. These homes are always located in the 'eastern suburbs' or the balmoral/mosman area of the 'lower north shore' (the two prestige areas of sydney that surround the main harbor). Homes in point piper, vaucluse, darling point, rose bay, bellevue hill (east) and balmoral/mosman (north) have all sold for 25 million plus in past years. The year of 2009 has been a slow one with next to no prestige listings at the top of the market. Even within the suburb of bellevue hill (where the house is located) there have been much higher sales in the past.<br /><br /><br />The sydney all time record stands at around 45 million, when in 2008 David Coe (bankrupted Alco executive) sold his Sydney Vaucluse Waterfront on the harbour to Ivan Retossa of Barclays Capital. The sale at the time was reported to be 47million, but property records show it traded for 45 million.<br /><br />This is an article from the Sydney Morning Herald on that sale.<br />http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/crisis-what-crisis/2008/09/17/1221330929879.html<br /><br />This 45 million sale is not for the best house in sydney either, its just that these never sell. Frequently the owners of these types of properties (usually on the harbor) turn down offers, as they know they will be unable to find another home of similar location and quality; as the saying goes "their not making anymore waterfront". These sorts of homes are typically located in the eastern suburbs (where some waterfronts have been conservatively valued at 85 million) and in the lower north shore on the other side of the harbor (where one family knocked back a 50 million offer for there double plot waterfront home).<br /><br />Other homes that have sold for above 23 million in Sydney include but definitely not limited to:<br /><br />http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/32m-for-rivkin-point-piper-pile/2008/03/13/1205126112305.html<br />($32 mill point piper non waterfront)<br /><br />http://www.homehound.com.au/23+victoria+street+watsons+bay+nsw+2030/<br />('villa porta rosa'-23 victoria st watsons bay sold for 28.1 mill according to property records)<br /><br />http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/05/29/1022569789322.html<br />('Altona Point Piper' set a then sydney rcord in 2002 when it sold for 28.5 million record since eclipsed many times)<br /><br />http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22203358-2,00.html<br />('Routala'- Point Piper Waterfront)<br /><br /><br />http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/topical-paradise-fetches-29m/2007/09/28/1190486569822.html<br />('Tahiti- vaucluse waterfront)<br /><br /><br />In the last few weeks a few properties have been listed that if they sell before the end of 2009 will likely beat the 23 million price for the YEAR record this does not include the unofficial pocket listings that like in any other city are always for sale at the right price:<br /><br />http://www.domain.com.au/Public/PropertyDetails.aspx?adid=2008062262<br />(point piper waterfront-eastern suburbs)<br /><br />http://www.domain.com.au/Public/PropertyDetails.aspx?adid=2008019264<br />(another smaller point piper waterfront-eastern suburbs)<br /><br />http://www.domain.com.au/Public/PropertyDetails.aspx?adid=2008065026<br />(mosman waterfront requiring renovation- lower north shore)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-36343756217840871692009-11-07T02:31:49.899-08:002009-11-07T02:31:49.899-08:00That stairwell is damn near perfect.
