Aldo Losurdo, 28, and his partner, Ashley Choi, 30 bought an apartment in Randwick ahead of its scheduled online auction last night and they reckon they got a bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-bedroom apartment with undercover parking at 18\/46 Coogee Bay Rd<\/a> sold for $812,000 through Steve Brajak and Nicholas Armstrong-Smith of Century 21 Armstrong-Smith Bondi Junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a pretty good bargain considering the location and condition of the apartment,\u201d says Losurdo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brajnak says his vendor needed to sell urgently and was \u201cecstatic\u201d to have locked in a sale during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019d only bought it a year ago, paying $785,000 <\/a>which was a good deal at the time. But the vendor is now out of pocket, when $31,000 stamp duty and other costs such as legals are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brajak agreed the young couple had done well to secure it yesterday. They could have opted for a darker unit \u201cripe for renovation\u201d two floors lower that was slightly cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Losurdo and Choi\u2019s unit was in far better condition with lovely parquetry floors and was full of natural light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
