the house we like

Well, we went to the auction this evening - house priced between 900k and 1M aud$.

You can imagine our surprise and dismay when it finally went for $1,385,000 - well above the '$1000 per square metre' guide in Sydney.

EDIT:
Apparently the reserve was $1m, despite the feedback from the agent '$900 to $1m - it might cross the $1m level'.

maybe we should look at this: http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Real-estate-agent-fined-for-deceptive-conduct/2005/02/07/1107625069951.html
