Another 10 buyback houses to be auctioned next week

The NSW Reconstruction Authority (NSWRA) has been very quiet of late. There has been no information released about the Resilient Homes Program, the Resilient Lands Program, future land use, squatters or the $150 million NRRI Program.


If you walk past a buyback property, you may come across a sign that outlines the next ten houses for sale.



The auction will take place at the Lismore Heights Sports Club next Wednesday, September 17, with a 6pm start.


Wal Murray & Co First National Real Estate is the real estate agent that is managing this round of house auctions.



You can view the houses today between 12noon and 2pm at the following addresses and times:


  • 17 Frank Street, South Lismore: 12noon to 12:30pm
  • 49 Union Street, South Lismore: 12noon to 12:30pm
  • 12 Hallam Street, North Lismore: 12noon to 12:30pm
  • 8 Cathcart Street, Lismore: 12:30pm to 1pm
  • 161 Magellan Street, Lismore: 12:30pm to 1pm
  • 31 Orion Street, Lismore: 1pm to 1:30pm
  • 108 Laurel Avenue, Lismore: 1pm to 1:30pm
  • 106 Laurel Avenue, Lismore: 1pm to 1:30pm
  • 316 Molesworth Street, Lismore: 1:30pm to 2pm
  • 29 Cathcart Street, Lismore: 1:30pm to 2pm



As you can see, there are examples where three houses are open for inspection at the same time. To prioritise your viewing, click here to check the houses online.


As has been the case in previous auctions, there will be no reserve price set for the auction. A deposit of 50% of the purchase price up to $1,000 is payable on auction night.



You can view the HAZMAT report and Auction Contract for a home by contacting Wal Murray by clicking on the listed properties.


One of the conditions of the purchase is that homes are relocated to sites outside of Priority 1, 2 and 3 areas as mapped by the NSWRA, which you can see below.



Today is the final day to inspect the ten houses listed for auction at the advertised times. Enclosed footwear must be worn on site.
