Sparkling swimming pool at 31 Armor Street, Clayfield
A luxury home has set a suburban record for the year after a harrowing auction in Brisbane's north-east. This is just over half a million dollars less than the suburban record.
A five-bedroom, four-bathroom home at 31 Armor Street in Clayfield sold for $7.8 million, with an opening bid of $5.75 million.
Four bidders registered to participate in the auction, and a total of 20 bids were recorded.

The lucky new owners of this home are Brisbane locals.
Clayfield Drew Davis, director of Place Estate Agents, said he expected the property to attract all the attention.
“The owners have put a lot of love into this property and it was designed with the brief of a mid-century resort and brought that brief to life. There has been a lot of very genuine interest from buyers and the stunning design on top makes this property what it is.

“There is a lot of interest in ultra-luxury homes. This is the strongest prestige market I have seen in a decade. We are no longer looking to connect the perfect buyer with the perfect property. It doesn't mean that it is.
“My advice to buyers going to auction is to always start with a strong bid. That eliminates the competition.”
