Han and Can’s The Block house was one of two that didn’t sell at auction, and their realtor, Belle Property’s Natalie Fagan, has shared an update on how much interest it’s attracted since.
“We’re getting between six and 10 inquiries per day, so it’s a lot,” Natalie told Chattr. “And we’re hoping to start getting some qualified buyers through in the next week.”
The Block contestants get to keep whatever amount their house sells for over the reserve. And, while this year’s reserves sit at the ambitious figure of $2.99 million, Natalie told Chattr that she feels confident that the house will sell for a price that will leave Han and Can with a profit.
The Daylesford real estate agent added that she’s been in constant contact with Han and Can since the auctions took place, and said they’ve been in great spirits about the potential sale of the house they renovated.
“They’re amazing. They are genuinely amazing women. They have been really positive. They’ve been really upbeat,” she said.
“They understand that [the house not selling at auction is] a risk you take with the competition, which is what The Block is. But I think that they’ve been extremely gracious, and I think that they’ve handled the whole situation very, very well, and we are still in contact almost daily with them, and all of our interactions have been really lovely.”
Natalie went on to say that she feels Han and Can’s house will benefit from selling on the market, rather than at auction, and pointed out what sets their property apart from the other four.
“It gives us an opportunity to really showcase the listing as an individual, versus one of five, which I think is a plus. Auctions are very rare in Daylseford, and so private sales do tend to be the way that we usually work our sales process,” she said.
“It’s not like the rest. It’s so different. And I love that. I think that the other houses definitely have that sort of country chic aesthetic. But I think Han and Can did something which really stands out in terms of quality.
“The constant feedback we had from purchasers and buyers when they came through the property was that the quality of the finishes was outstanding, and it feels so much lighter and bigger, especially in the living areas, than the other houses, due to the layout and the colour scheme.”
However, while Natalie has been inundated with interest in Han and Can’s house, she did warn that the process of selling a house after The Block auction isn’t usually instantaneous.
“Typically, The Block houses, when they are passed in an auction, do take a little while to sell,” she advised.
“And, Daylesford does have a three to four months average days on market. That’s quite normal for here. I’d love to get them a speedy sale, but just because the days on market may be longer, that’s not unusual for the area.”
What happened at Han and Can’s The Block auctions?
Britt and Taz were the only team to walk away from The Block 2025 auctions with a truly life-changing result, bagging $420,000 for their house sale and an additional $100,000 prize money.
Alicia and Sonny made $120,000, largely thanks to their $50,000 reduction in their reserve, which they won for their front yard, while Robby and Mat made $109,000.
Neither Emma and Ben nor Han and Can sold their houses at the auction, and they were passed in and put on the market to sell in the traditional sense.
Han and Can’s house was the last to go up for auction, and after seeing the disappointing results from the auction before them, they placed a vendor bid at $3.1 million.
“The vendor bid is just a bid put forward by the auctioneer. Legally, you’re allowed to do that, which means that that bid has to be beaten, otherwise the House will pass in, and that’s basically it,” Taz explained to Chattr in a post-win interview. “Here’s my bid as a minimum. If you cannot beat that, we will negotiate privately.”
While there were interested buyers in the room, there wasn’t anyone willing to bid $3.1 million or more, and Han and Can’s house was passed in.
However, with all the interest Han and Can’s house has been racking up, it sounds like a sale will happen in the near future!
