The couple bought a four-bedroom, three-bathroom Naremburn house, with a study nook, that had been built in 2015 at a $400,000 cost. It sold after just nine days on market through McGrath Crows Nest agent Peter Chauncy.

Their purchase price matched the suburb’s $3.6m median price for four-bedroom houses, according to realestate.com.au. The suburb median was up 9 per cent annually with just 11 sales in the tightly held lower north shore location.
