A five-bedroom home in Sydney’s northern suburbs sold for $6.21 million just hours before public auctions and unrestrained open-for-inspections were banned under a COVID-related lockdown.
Three registered bidders competed for the home at 1A Bligh Crescent, Seaforth. A family wanting a home closer to the water were the buyers after bidding above the $6.16 million reserve.

“The ultimate bidder just kept bidding $10,000 more,” LJ Hooker Seaforth principal agent Glen Wirth said.
The sale, on Saturday morning, came just before NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced that Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, the Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour would be in lockdown from six o’clock that night until midnight on Friday, July 9, because of the spread of the serious Delta strain of COVID-19.
New South Wales has recorded a further jump in cases of community transmission today with 22 people testing positive.
A record number of people came forward to get tested with over 68,000 tests received in the last 24 hours.
It has also been revealed a young student nurse has tested positive to the virus working in several wards across two Sydney hospitals.
