The bullied Cairns couple Tess and Luke Struber took home the grand prize as the winners of The Block 2019 after 14 weeks of stressful renovation.
Channel Nine manipulated the reserves which were set at $2.990 million for all of the five three-storey terraces, although the terraces at either end were expected to have the higher longterm value.
The official price guide required by Victorian Government legislation had been $3 million to $3.3 million.
Buyers’ advocate Frank Valentic described them as “very, very comfortable reserves.”
Experienced renovators, Mitch & Mark saw the hammer come down at $3.374 million, which was $384,000 over reserve.
It sold to seasoned Block bidder, Danny Wallis, who previously purchased 403 Dorcas St in South Melbourne on the fifth season of The Block for $1,400,001.01.
The next auction was the newlyweds Tess & Luke who secured $3.620 million, some $630,000 over reserve.
