Note: The list excludes two commercial-scale records — 141-147 Deception Bay Road ($4.9M) and 31-35 Spencer Avenue (a former childcare centre) — as they are not representative of the residential market. A block of units at 42-44 Balmoral Place was sold by Clare Robins for $1,300,000, but as it was a block of units it did not qualify for the list.
