Former tennis world no. 1 Ash Barty’s coach Craig Tyzzer and wife Sue scored an ace auction result when their Mt Waverley house sold for $2,258,000 yesterday.

PropTrack recorded a preliminary 64.2 per cent clearance rate for Victoria, from 556 early auctions results available on Saturday.

Tyzzer, who coached Barty for six years up until her 2022 retirement, lived at the 16 Bizley St home for more than two decades alongside his wife and their four daughters.

Now the older children have grown up and moved out, Tyzzer and Sue are moving to Queensland for work and family commitments.

Barty won titles at the 2019 French Open, 2021 Wimbledon Championships and 2022 Australian Open while working with Tyzzer, plus the 2018 US Open women’s doubles alongside American player CoCo Vandeweghe.

Tyzzer also coached ex-world no. 38 Andrew Ilie and received honours including the 2019 Women’s Tennis Association’s Coach of the Year and 2017 Australian Tennis Award coaching excellence – high performance gong.

A Tiffany trophy, one of two presented to both Tyzzer and Vandeweghe’s coach Pat Cash after the doubles victory, has since served as the Mt Waverley family home’s lolly bowl.

Tyzzer said he had always enjoyed returning to the house after travelling to international sports events.

“Both Ash and I weren’t fantastic travellers, we were both homebodies and wanted to be with our family and friends,” he said.

He also said that both he and Barty never wanted to install a tennis court at their respective properties, as they were keen to keep work and home lives separate.

Buxton Mt Waverley managing director Steve Hatzi said a 200-strong crowd watched as the four-bedroom property went under the hammer.

“There were three bidders, all family buyers and the new owners are a young family with a child,” Mr Hatzi said.

In Melbourne’s northern suburbs, a four-bedroom house at 3 Fiona Court, Gladstone Park, fetched $1.005m, a sum $145,000 above the $860,000 reserve.

Ray White Gladstone Park director Malek Younan said the owners, who had purchased the residence about 11 months ago and partially renovated, were in tears after the auction.

The double-storey home, originally built in the 1970s, has become Gladstone Park’s second-most expensive house, behind 14 Barclay Close which sold for $1.01m in 2023, also through Ray White.

Mr Younan said one of the Fiona Court house’s owners had tears in his eyes following the auction.

“There were four main bidders, then three and then two who just kept pushing up the price,” he said.

The buyers were a couple who had been looking since the year started.

One of yesterday’s top sales was a five-bedroom house at 27 Alfred St, Kew, listed with a $7m-$7.7m price guide.

The home features an outdoor swimming pool, stone and travertine surfaces and a kitchen with a walk-in pantry.

Abercrombys’ Perry Zhou declined to comment on the sold value but industry sources indicated that the house changed hands for a higher figure than the asking range.

“There were four bidders and it sold to a family,” Mr Zhou said.

“It was a well-attended auction on a beautiful winter afternoon.”

Good family-style homes near schools have been selling well, he added.

PropTrack is expecting 1073 auctions across the state next week.
