A four-bedroom house in Cannonvale has sold for $870,000 in just two days, with Whitsundays agent Melinda Butcher of Taylors Property Specialists using recent comparable sales to guide buyer expectations.
The private treaty sale at 19 Twin Creek Court exceeded the suburb’s $845,000 median for four-bedroom homes, delivering a result that thrilled vendors who had owned the two-bathroom, two-car-space property since it was built.
Market data replaces price guide
Melinda’s no-price strategy centred on providing buyers with recent comparable sales rather than setting an upfront guide, allowing the market to determine value through transparent evidence.
The approach proved effective in a suburb where Domain data shows strong buyer activity for three and four-bedroom homes, with the latter achieving median prices of $845,000.
“The owners said the sale was made very easy for them and exceeded their expectations,” Mel Butcher said.
“They’ve been over the moon and very excited as they’ve had this house from new and now they’re moving to a retirement village.”
Strategic timing and presentation
The December 12 contracts came after minimal marketing time, with the property attracting qualified buyers who could assess value against recent transactions in the area.
View.com.au reports Cannonvale achieves a 4.5 per cent rental yield, indicating broader investor and owner-occupier interest across the suburb’s housing stock.
The result reinforces how regional Queensland markets respond to evidence-based pricing strategies, particularly when agents combine local knowledge with current sales data.
