A Tudor-style home in Queensland sold for $6.2 million, 6.5 times the area's median price of $1.975 million, reflecting a recent 24.8% increase in property values in the region. Located 13km from Brisbane, the property was auctioned to a dual Chinese-Australian family and previously sold for $17.25 million to a developer. The home, built in 1988 on a 2,577 m² plot, features six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and luxurious amenities like two swimming pools and a tennis court. The sale exemplifies the growing appeal of large properties in Robertson, a suburb increasingly favored by developers. Meanwhile, a historical building known as The Barn in Hobart has received awards for its sensitive renovation that marries rustic charm with modern design, highlighting the trend of preserving heritage while enhancing livability.
