It was clear that in the current economic circumstances nobody wants to spend more than $4 million for these houses,  no matter how luxurious they are. H5 was the property furthest away from the rest, best views and designed to fit a resort/Airbnb arrangement which will bring the buyer big tax savings with the depreciation on the luxurious inclusions (including $250K in the kitchen).  That's what the other registered bidder was interested in but Danny outbid him so Omar and Oz walked away with the biggest profit in block history.   We always liked "the boys" and their house but hoped that the other contestants will walk away with around $200k each, it was the toughest Block in the series history.  Hopefully they will learn and bring it down in scale next year and expect to see Tom and Sarah-Jane back for another chance!

Since when are you aloud to pull your house from auction? That just didn’t seem fair to me. Of course you want everyone to walk away with money but that’s the risk you take right

@reannon Since always. They actually didn't 'pull it' from auction. They went to auction but the reserve price wasn't reached so the property was passed in and the highest buyer who had bid was given the first exclusive opportunity to negotiate with the vendors. If an acceptable price isn't reached then the property will be listed for private sale. Standard practice.

@hopey but there were constants pulling their house off the market in case they got a further bid that would put them on the market therefore they’d be in the position to sell but with zero profit.
