"It's always appealed to me (to live in Albury), but I never thought I'd be able to do it to be honest," they said.

"There was only one other person we were competing against.

A two-bedroom apartment in central Albury on Smollett Street, opposite West End Plaza, was sold by McGrath Real Estate to an online bidder for $810,000.

The first offer came in at $790,000 before a vendor bid was placed at $800,000.

An online bidder took it to $805,000 before auctioneer Phil Bell paused to discuss the offer, but the auction soon resumed with the owners keen to sell on the day.

Another online bid of $810,000 came in and it was enough to secure the property.

"You've got luxury, size and position.

"We're in a market that has been up and up for the last two years and interest rates are still at an all-time low.
