He has actually offered hoarders homes and unliveable hovels under the hammer, often drawing in signed up bidders in the double digits.
One sight-unseen auction drew a shocking 41 registered bidders.
“Families (of deceased estates) seem to be holding onto them longer and putting in some work since they can see the increasing home values,” he stated.
“Builders and flippers are still active, but we are likewise seeing a portion of very first home buyers.
“There is no scarcity of purchasers for these houses which’s probably since there is not a lot of supply and everyone knows somebody who has actually earned money from property.
“In the existing market, even some small upgrades to a tired home will make money.”
And due to the current FOMO playing out throughout Queensland’s property market, the hovel hysteria is most likely to continue, with the QPT set to take a delapidated workers home at Woolloongabba to auction on March 28.
