PropTrack calculates the two-bedroom apartment median price sits at $1.8m, up 17 per cent after 24 sales over the past years. Pryce has called the two-bedroom apartment home since paying $860,000 in 2011.
Engaged in 2015 and married in 2017, and now with three-year-old son Asher, the family is understood to be looking for more space. The elevated first floor Ocean St apartment, which enjoys ocean views from its wraparound study, dining area and sunroom, secured some 2330 page views during its marketing on realestate.com.au. The apartment has 108sq m space including balconies plus a 15sq m lock up garage.

The renovated apartment features polished concrete Terrazo flooring in the living area, which is separated from the study space with modern timber screening.
The last sale in the 1970s block of nine was in 2020 when a higher level two-bedroom apartment fetched $2,225,000.
Pryce bought the unit two years before becoming the Red Wiggle, however, his involvement with the Wiggles dates back to 2002, when he began as one of their voice artists on their CDs. He joined their regular tour in 2009, as Ringo the Ringmaster and understudying for founding member Murray Cook, before replacing him in 2013.
The couple met in 2011 when Hannaford toured with the Wiggles.

Pryce told The Daily Telegraph earlier this year that he had a “whole new appreciation” for his work as one of Australia’s most loved children’s entertainers, now that his toddler son has started clapping along.
“It’s this milestone your child’s reached, where they’re marrying words with actions, and they’re hearing, they’re listening and they’re following along,” Pryce said.
“I’ve got a whole new appreciation for what we do as Wiggles.”
Pryce has joined a new “dads’ alliance” to encourage the federal government expand paid parental leave, lift wages for early childhood educators, and work to attract more men into the female-skewed profession.
