Each year\u00a0The Block<\/em>\u00a0contestants sit in anticipation as their properties go to auction, hoping they will attract large enough bids to take them past their all-important reserve price.<\/p>\n

But in the lead-up to the auction \u2013 particularly the two weeks prior \u2013 the agents selling each of the houses are busy gathering interest, organising inspections and narrowing down just who might be the eventual buyers.<\/p>\n

We spoke to the agents to see who\u2019s keen, and what this year\u2019s selling campaigns \u2013 in the midst of lockdowns, and inspection restrictions \u2013 have been like.<\/p>\n

On the end, and the only house with a north-facing aspect, Harry and Tash\u2019s 1920s-inspired home has attracted a mix of potential buyers,\u00a0Whitefox Real Estate\u00a0agent\u00a0Lana Samuels\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been inundated,\u201d Ms Samuels said. \u201cIt\u2019s appealing to families, a few investors and even a couple of young couples.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said some of the family buyers had come from inner-eastern suburbs including Hawthorn and Camberwell, and that many were only interested in Harry and Tash\u2019s house, despite the father and daughter team not racking up many points with the judges.<\/p>\n
