First-home buyer snaps up home after 12-month search
A first-home buyer has scored the keys to a Hoppers Crossing house after 12 months of trying their luck in Melbourne's real estate market. The woman purchased the four-bedroom residence at 8 Woodville Park Drive for $670,000 on the weekend, triumphing over three other bidders. The owner of 25 years, Graham Woods, said he had previously lived at the abode with his wife and stepsons. After moving to a nearby suburb they retained the house, that features an open-plan living area, formal lounge room, pergola and large backyard, as an investment property. Mr Woods' treasured memories of the home included hosting barbecues in the rear garden and installing a bar room. He's a big fan of the location that's near a medical centre, the Pacific Werribee shopping centre, public transport and has a football ground across the road. 'It's pretty close to everything,' Mr Woods said. 'The only reason we're getting rid of it is because I'm moving on.' He said that as he and his wife were planning to move interstate and travel, it would be a relief to not worry about paying the mortgage and council rates on the house. Hockingstuart Werribee director Justin Tong said that the auction began with a $560,000 bid, at the lower end of the $550,000-$600,000 asking range. He called the house on the market at the $615,000 mark. The successful buyer was keen on the home due to Hoppers Crossing train station providing good access to Melbourne's CBD, he added. 'She was excited to buy but I think she stretched herself a bit to do so, she has been looking for 12 months,' Mr Tong said. He added that mostly first-home buyers and investors, including some based interstate, who had shown interest in the home. 'Anything that is presented really well and priced accurately is doing extremely well at the moment which I think is the same across areas,' Mr Tong said. He noted that buyers who were prepared to update their homes through measures such as repainting and updating flooring often got 'a bit more bang for their buck' with move-in ready residences in demand.
