AFL champion and\u00a0I\u2019m a Celebrity<\/em>\u00a0star Dale Thomas has sold his $2.5 million to $2.75 million Glen Iris home.<\/p>\n

Now retired, the high-flying former Collingwood and Carlton champion-turned-TV star and now children\u2019s book author listed the four-bedroom 1950s double-brick property he transformed into a luxury modern home back in November last year.<\/p>\n

It was originally listed with $2.7 million to $2.9 million hopes but the asking price reduced to $2.5 million to $2.75 million, which Marshall White listing agent\u00a0Chris Barrett\u00a0said was \u201cin line with market interest\u201d.<\/p>\n

An auction campaign was about to be launched with an auction date set for next month but Mr Barrett said the property was snapped up before the campaign even started.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were about to launch into a campaign but it ended up selling to a buyer that inspected it before Christmas. They put forward an offer that Dale and Natasha said, \u2018That\u2019ll do\u2019,\u201d Mr Barrett said.<\/p>\n

Mr Barrett refused to be drawn on the price paid, citing confidentiality, but sources close to the deal say the property went for substantially over $2.5 million.<\/p>\n

Even if the new owners\u00a0\u2014 a local family\u00a0\u2014 paid within last year\u2019s asking price range, it\u2019s safe to say Dale Thomas has made a tidy profit: property records show Thomas paid $859,000 in 2009.<\/p>\n
