While architectural mansions in Hobart’s expensive suburbs can dominate the most-viewed list on realestate.com.au, sometimes, a vastly different property proposition steals the crown.
Over the past week, buyers were infatuated with a modest three-bedroom home in Forcett, about seven minutes from Sorell and 30 minutes from Hobart.
No.14 Delmore Rd was pitched as a “property project with serious potential”.
Roberts Real Estate Sorell property representatives Chloe Wright and Holly Johnson said the home required extensive renovations to bring it to a liveable condition.
They said the market response was unbelievable, with over a dozen people making offers.

Ms Wright said they received their first offer before the property was even on the market.
“It is now under offer within one week of launch,” she said.
“We expected a lot of inquiry on this property because of the price point, “Offers over $380,000”. But we were quite surprised; being No. 1 in Tasmania on REA and No.15 nationwide is super impressive. We are very happy with the outcome.”
In mere days, the listing has over 6000 page views.
Ms Johnson said No. 14 Delmore Rd attracted 150 inquiries, showing it was equally popular offline as it was online.
“40 groups came through the open house, and we received 16 offers,” she said.

The house is privately positioned down an internal driveway and set on 3413sq m of fully fenced land.
It is a property that provides space, privacy, and “endless opportunity to add value”.
The house features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Outside, there is a large shed, a workshop, and solar panels.
Ms Wright said the price point under $400,000 was hugely attractive to most buyers.
“For a three-bedroom, two-bathroom property in a popular suburb such as Forcett, that’s appealing,” she said.
