The 42-square-meter, one-bedroom property at 46B Camperdown st, Miramar, was for sale for more than $ 745,000.
A one-bedroom house has been sold in Wellington seeking bargains for more than $ 745,000.
On Wednesday, Steve Farrell, a real estate agent for Ray White, confirmed that the property had been sold, but did not say for how much or elaborate on the sale. Then the phone call ended.
Things previously reported that housing advocates described the list as ridiculous, outrageous and desperate. “Either they will come or not,” an agent previously said of the listing, adding that they thought the asking price was fair.
The 42-square-meter Miramar home at 46 Camperdown Rd was described as “perfect for busy singles or couples” on the Ray White real estate group’s listing.

Instead, a housing advocate described the house as a “more respectable version” of the recently listed converted shipping container for $ 390 per week in Johnsonville.
The listing comes amid record property prices in the Wellington region, with the median home price in the city recently crossing the $ 1 million threshold. However, those properties were typically three- or four-bedroom homes, rather than one-bedroom properties, a housing advocate said.
FLiP Homes designed and built the one bedroom property and two others in the section. Chief Operating Officer Paul Swift said the company aimed to build “affordable housing,” but that prices ultimately reflected the housing market.

Rents have skyrocketed in the last three years, but they also grew during the previous national government.
“It’s a really tough market,” Swift said. “Obviously, it is very, very difficult to climb the property ladder.”
FLiP Homes built houses that were “way above the code” because the company believed that all New Zealanders had the right to a warm and healthy home.
Councilor Rebecca Matthews previously said owning a home in the city of Wellington had become a fantasy.
“Hopelessness consumes me,” said Matthews. “Home ownership of any kind in the city is becoming something of a lottery prize. Nobody can save at that rate, these things are going up. “
A one-bedroom apartment priced at $ 745,000 was a “visible” effect of the housing crisis. “I’m really worried about the invisible effects, like overcrowding, because people can’t afford a house.”
The house featured a double bedroom with a wardrobe, open-plan living rooms and a private terrace. It was one of two identical properties in the section listed by Ray White. A third property not listed in the section included three bedrooms and a private bathroom.
