Homes in East Albury, North Albury, Lavington and Thurgoona sold in strong day of auctions on the Border

Ray White Albury North offered up six properties and cleared more than half of them.

The most sought after was a three-bedroom, two-bathroom dwelling on Rivergum Drive in East Albury, which saw bids come in from three different parties.

The property received an opening sum of $620,000, before it was upped to $630,000 by a second offer.

It returned to the first bidder at $640,000, which prompted a third party to enter the auction at $650,000.

A return offer of $660,000 was accepted before $5000 advances were exchanged to take it to $690,000.

Auctioneer Alex Pattaro allowed a $3000 rise, which was beaten by a $695,000 bid, before a second advance of $3000 saw it move to $698,000 in favour of the third party who was able to secure the property.
