“We had locals here today, interstate buyers too.

“We had people here that are building locally, wanting to see the confidence in the market if they do the build. That confidence is still very much there.

Mr Cush said although the auction went well, it did need to hit pause to negotiate.

“We did need to push pause; that pause got us another $200,000,” he said.

The winning bid went to a family from North Queensland that was bidding over the phone.
