More than $40 million worth of property was sold at Australia\u2019s biggest auction event on Sunday, amid a \u201cgolden era\u201d for real estate on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n

In a whirlwind of bidding spread over six hours, 90 properties went under the hammer, from entry-level apartments to waterfront mansions and lush hinterland homes. Another 15 scheduled to go to auction had sold prior.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0equine estate in Guanaba, taking in a main residence, two one-bedroom studios, stables, a dressage arena and five horse paddocks was the most expensive single property sold on the day, fetching $1,675,000.<\/p>\n

Nervous home buyers, seasoned investors and excited sellers were among the several thousand that attended RACV Royal Pines Resort over the course of the day for the annual auction event hosted by Ray White Surfers Paradise Group.<\/p>\n
