A record auction for a 4-room house in Australia closed with a gap of only one dollar above the offer that reached second place, and two dollars from third place. During the auction there were a total of 33 bids totaling $731,000.

The auctioneers point out that the lucky winners, and the sophisticated ones it should be said, are a couple buying their first home. The property includes a landscaped backyard, which provides the perfect space for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature.
