When it comes to selling premium coastal property in Perth’s tightly held beachside suburbs, strategy matters just as much as timing. The standout auction result at 24 Belhus Drive, Trigg is a perfect example of how a well-executed auction campaign, guided by expert local advice can deliver exceptional outcomes for sellers in today’s WA market.
Auctions Still Leading The Way in the Perth Property Market
With intense buyer competition, a clear price discovery process and a sense of urgency that simply can’t be replicated through private treaty, auctions continue to set the benchmark for standout results across Perth.
A Campaign Built for Momentum
From the outset, Emma Guthrie worked closely with her clients to determine the most effective way to bring this special Trigg home to market. Given buyer demand in the area and the home’s rare combination of location, elevation and lifestyle appeal, an auction strategy was a natural fit.
The result was a focused, high-impact campaign that generated immediate attention:
2 weeks on the market
85 email enquiries
63 home open attendees
13 registered bidders
30 active bids on auction day
On auction day, the energy was unmistakable. With Ray White WA CEO Mark Whiteman calling the auction, competition escalated quickly, culminating in a decisive sale under the hammer for $2,815,000 – well above reserve!

Why Auctions Are Working So Well in the Current WA Market
Perth’s property market continues to be driven by low stock levels, strong population growth and sustained demand, particularly in coastal suburbs like Trigg.
Auctions harness these conditions by:
Creating urgency: Buyers are motivated to act within a defined timeframe.
Encouraging competition: Bidding environments often push prices beyond expectations.
Delivering transparent price discovery: Sellers see real-time market feedback.
Eliminating lengthy negotiations: Contracts are exchanged unconditionally on the day.
At 24 Belhus Drive, the numbers spoke for themselves. With 13 committed bidders and 30 bids placed, the auction environment allowed the market to do what it does best – determine true value through competition.
Expert Guidance Makes the Difference
Behind every great auction result is a carefully considered strategy. Emma’s deep understanding of the Trigg market, combined with her calm, confident guidance, gave her sellers clarity and confidence every step of the way.
From positioning the property correctly, to preparing buyers early and setting realistic expectations, the campaign was designed to maximise momentum, and it delivered.
As Emma shared after the sale, it was an absolute honour to represent such a special opportunity and to welcome another family into one of Trigg’s most tightly held streets.
