A music video producer and director who has worked with Lorde and Katy Perry is selling a former air force bungalow seven months after its purchase set a record price.
Joel Kefali and his partner - former C4 presenter Jane Yee - bought the renovated four-bedroom home at auction in June for $1.6 million.
The selling price remains a record for the landmark Hobsonville Pt housing development in north Auckland. However, Bayleys marketing agent Clare Ellis hopes the 261sq m 1930s house will fetch even more when it goes under the hammer again on February 25.
A newly renovated Air Force bungalow in northwest Auckland that sold for $1.6 million last June has failed to attract a single bid at an auction.
The impressive four-bedroom 261sq m home was put on the market this month by former TV presenter Jane Yee and her partner, music video producer Joel Kefali, just seven months after they bought it.
The property at 2 Sunderland Ave still holds the record for the highest price at the Hobsonville Pt housing development.
The couple bought the home with a view to raising their three children there, but a change in Mr Kefali's work commitments - requiring him to travel to the US - meant they decided to move closer to Ms Yee's family in East Auckland before looking to move overseas.
Last week's auction was in stark contrast to the scene in June last year when 250 people were present onsite as bidding started at $1 million before the property was passed in at $1.5 million.
