AFLW star Sharni Norder scores slick disposal for Bonbeach home
Sharni Norder’s 3/2 Trent Court, Bonbeach, home sold $42,000 above its reserve.
AFLW star Sharni Norder notched 11 key disposals on the field yesterday, and one big one off of it with the sale of her Bonbeach townhouse.
Hundreds of Melburnians kicked property goals yesterday with an 82.3 per cent clearance rate and one Patterson Lakes homeowner left stunned as their house shot more than $500,000 past reserve.
Norder’s 3/2 Trent Court home also topped reserve by $42,000, but after a schedule change brought forward Collingwood’s match against Geelong she didn’t find out until after her team had snared a 29-point win.

“I had to park the auction, I couldn’t be thinking about it during the game,” Norder said.
“It wasn’t until after the cool down and we sang the song that I thought holy s*** and asked if I could have my phone back to get the result.”
Norder commenced planning for the townhouses including 3/2 Trent Court, Bonbeach, before meeting her now husband.
With husband Luke out of town as well, she left her real estate agent with very simple instructions before she took the field: “Do me proud, son”.
Buxton Chelsea auctioneer Daniel Wright said with five bidders trying to tackle the title it didn’t take long for the home to go from a $700,000 “opening bounce” to an $872,000 sale, and an extra reason to celebrate last night.
“I reckon it would give her a lift,” Mr Wright said. “It’s gone $42,000 over reserve.”

Emily Rippingale won the keys in the tight contest, ironically making the winning bid moments before her partner took the crease with Bentleigh Cricket Club’s top team — hoping to go a few runs better than the 98 he hit last weekend.
“I’m going to go and stand on the sideline with a bottle of champagne,” Ms Rippingale said.
“He shouldn’t have sent me to the auction alone. My ball skills aren’t great, but I’ll go and bid at auction!”
She added that Norder had “nice taste” and the home had been a clear winner to them from their first visit.
The home features high ceilings and striking decor.
Formerly Sharni Layton, the footballer is also a gold-medal winning netballer who has competed in world championships and the Commonwealth Games.
But the owners of 47 Palm Beach Drive, Patterson Lakes, might have had even more reason to celebrate than the AFLW player.
Their four-bedroom house on the waterfront sold $575,000 above its reserve price.
47 Palm Beach Drive, Patterson Lakes, comes with a beachfront vibe on the lake waterfront.
Mr Wright said he’d been amazed to see four bidders pursue the home so hard, and that the $2.675m final price had been beyond anything anyone had expected.
“It was just one out of the box,” he said.
A family from Balwyn bought the home so their son would be able to practice his rowing better.
The Patterson Lakes home also has a pool.
