Former Liberal Party federal member Fiona Martin has sold her East Ryde house \u2013 two weeks after its onsite mid-August auction, which took place with no bids from buyers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There was just a $2.9 million vendor bid, which was followed by a $2,895,000 asking price.<\/p>\n

There had been initial $3.4m hopes for the five-bedroom, three-bathroom house, which after one week on market had been revised to $2.9 million by the CobdenHayson selling agent George Gialouris.<\/p>\n

There has been no sale price reveal.<\/p>\n

Martin, who represented the Reid electorate in Sydney\u2019s Olympic Park precinct from 2019 until her May election defeat, had built the modern home in 2020 after demolishing the prior home.<\/p>\n

Her building block had cost $1.2 million in 2018 when there had been $1.5 million hopes.<\/p>\n

Dr Martin, a moderate Liberal, was described as Scott Morrison\u2019s captain\u2019s pick when she first ran, \u00adreplacing the retiring local member and pub baron Craig Laundy.<\/p>\n

Her residency became an issue prior to the 2022 election within Liberal Party branches with some branch members unhappy she lived outside the electorate.<\/p>\n

She was a child psychologist \u00adbefore her parliamentary career, with Dr Martin declining to \u00adreveal her plans. But she retained her psychology practice website, which has recently been updated.<\/p>\n
