The price guidance on the Dulwich Hill investment property listing of Anthony Albanese was tweaked midweek – while he was returning from the G20 summit in Brazil – to $1.75m, as the Prime Minister seeks to meet the falling property market.
The three-bedroom townhouse had $1.9m guidance on its early September listing.
Giving eviction notice to his $680-a-week tenant in May, Albanese had signalled his desire to “simplify his affairs” after his personal situation changed, namely his upcoming nuptials to partner Jodie Haydon.

But it also emerged the first couple had spotted a luxury Copacabana house in late September, which they secured for $4.3m – down from its $4,650,000 sale in 2021.
The clifftop home is now up for $1900-a-week rental.
His redundant Dulwich Hill property was pulled on auction-eve on October 11, with the one serious buyer apparently “being a bit cute with the price”.

One of those sales took place on the same day as Albo’s intended auction, when an Abergeldie Street townhouse fetched $1.935m through Walter Burfitt-Williams at Ray White Taylor and Partners.
“Similar to Albo, we had lost all of our buyers on the Wednesday morning before the Saturday auction – it was going to be a challenge,” Burfitt-Williams said.
“We doubled down, though, and managed to get two fresh buyers there for Saturday – one of whom saw it for the first time the night before the auction.”
