hammer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">One of the Block\u2019s failed Daylesford auction properties from the disastrous end to last year\u2019s season appears to have been sold. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">And with the home last advertised at about $400,000 before it\u2019s reserve price for the finale, it could well be the show\u2019s biggest failure yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">In a shock result for the lingering property that had multiple price cuts this year, the 4 Cedar Lane address that Hannah (Han) Thetford and Candice (Can) Wood renovated last year has been marked as \u2018under offer\u2019. <\/p>\n<p

StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">It will also all but guarantee that Han and Cam won\u2019t make any prize money from the show, with their chance at a widnfall tied to the property selling above the

title=\"www.realestate.com.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Herald Sun revealed <\/a>that The Block\u2019s two remaining homes were listed for sale at less than half what it had cost to build them, based on tax depreciation schedules prepared for the homes as they were sold last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">In Victoria, \u2018under offer\u2019 is a term typically used to indicate an acceptable offer has been made for a home and that a sale is pending a clause on the purchase such as \u201csubject to finance\u201d or \u201csubject to pest and building inspection\u201d. <\/p>\n<p><img class=\"styles__StyledImage-sc-17n6uwl-1 hlcJVa size-full wp-post- wp-image-1152111\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\"

are unlikely to see a cent of the sale given it was last advertised several hundred thousand dollars below their auction reserve price. Picture: Channel 9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">It could also reflect that the sale is still covered by a three-day cooling off period available to Victorian homebuyers, or possibly that a deposit is yet to be received. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">With the latest price guide at $2.59m, it\u2019s likely any deposit would need to be at least six figures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">There is no word yet on further developments for the residence at No. 5 Cedar Lane that was renovated by Emma and Ben Cox, but also failed under the hammer with a $3.1m vendor bid also ending its auction. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">That home had received a $2.9m offer at auction but it was short of the $2.99m reserve set by The Block for the home. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">With No. 4 Cedar Lane also set a $2.99m reserve for the season finale, it is likely it will have been sold for several hundred thousand dollars less than Channel 9 wanted. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">For reference, when another of the show\u2019s homes failed under the hammer in Gisborne it sold several months later for $180,000 less than the original reserve price.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"styles__StyledImage-sc-17n6uwl-1 hlcJVa size-full wp-post- wp-image-1152114\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1152114\" data-capiid=\"059342ac1fc19e38dc7d4fc50c39a75d\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 1280 720&quot;%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"  alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1152114\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A glamorous pool space in the backyard will potentially be good news for the next owner.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"styles__StyledImage-sc-17n6uwl-1 hlcJVa size-full wp-post- wp-image-1152115\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1152115\" data-capiid=\"6cca610b0fc1ff64dc8b01d2ab053cef\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 1280 720&quot;%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"  alt=\"Supplied Real Estate 4 Cedar Lane, Daylesford\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1152115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The home\u2019s style-centric kitchen has had limited use since the show finished in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">It was last advertised at just $2.59m, with Belle Property agent Will Walton last week indicating he had been anticipating a sale before the show\u2019s auctions were held for this year\u2019s season later in spring. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">A sale is potentially good news for contestants in this season, as it removes one of the three former The Block homes from last year\u2019s season that were still on the market in the lead up to this year\u2019s sales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">In addition to No. 4 Cedar Lane, the home at No. 2 Cedar Lane is also now back on the market after being sold for $3.06m at auction last year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">Renovated by Sonny and Alicia Aplin on the show, it has a $2.9m-$3m price guide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">Mr Walton could not comment on the update. <\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">A Channel Nine spokesperson confirmed a sale, but offered \u201cno further comment at this stage\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Text__Typography-sc-1103tao-0 bjGYxJ StyledP-sc-cebixd-0 bzEerj\">Sign up to the Herald Sun Weekly Real Estate Update.
