The three-bedroom house at 11 Wimmera Ave, Manifold Heights, was snapped up prior to going to auction.
Buyers keen not to miss the opportunity have paid a premium to secure a renovated house in Manifold Heights prior to it going to auction.
The three-bedroom Wimmera Ave house was listed with a $1.15m to $1.2m price guide in a campaign due to finish with an auction last weekend.
But Maxwell Collins Geelong agent Duncan Skene said the buyers were unable to attend the auction, so got on the front foot to ensure they could secure a deal prior.

The property sold for just over $1.22m.
“It was still under auction conditions, however the purchaser wanted to secure it as they’re going away,” Mr Skene said.
While the sale price for the property was above the guide for the campaign, it wasn’t enough to overcome the downturn in the market over the past two years.
Records show the property last sold in mid 2023 for $1.2m.
