Two Sales – One Signboard in Sunnyvale — CV and Above
By Sarah & Julie – Harcourts | Auckland Real Estate Agents | Selling Auckland-Wide. Licensed under the REAA 2008.
Two homes. The same street. Two competitive, back-to-back sales — both delivering results at CV and above. In Sunnyvale, our team has just sold 18 McKinley Road and 20 McKinley Road consecutively, each drawing a fierce multi-offer campaign and a result the vendors were thrilled with.
Two Sales, One Street, Both at CV and Above
Selling two neighbouring properties one after the other is a real test of a marketing strategy — and both delivered. Each home attracted multiple competing buyers, and that competition is exactly what pushes a price to its full potential. 18 McKinley Road sold for $910,000 — right on its CV — while 20 McKinley Road achieved $950,000, comfortably above its $910,000 CV. A strong outcome for both vendors in today’s market.
Results like these don’t happen by chance. They come from getting the preparation, presentation, and strategy right before a single buyer walks through the door.
“Competition is what unlocks a home’s true value. Our job is to create it — and then manage it well.” — Sarah Tiplady
Why Multiple Offers Matter
When several buyers want the same home, the dynamic changes. Instead of one buyer negotiating down, you have motivated buyers competing up — each putting forward their strongest offer for fear of missing out.
Creating that competitive tension isn’t luck. It takes the right method of sale, sharp marketing that reaches the widest pool of qualified buyers, and careful negotiation once the offers arrive.
Presentation and Strategy Made the Difference
Both sets of vendors were guided through what matters most in today’s market: presenting the home at its best, pricing and marketing it to attract genuine interest, and choosing a sale strategy suited to the property and the moment.
Small, considered decisions — how a home is styled, how it’s photographed, how the campaign is timed — add up to a stronger first impression and, ultimately, a stronger result.
“Preparation and the right strategy are what turn interest into competing offers.” — Julie Kelman-Poto
