Robert Magid and his wife Ruth sold their Point Piper mansion in Sydney for a figure believed to be around $75 million on Tuesday, the same day the Reserve Bank of Australia raised the cash rate from 4.35% to 4.6%, marking its fourth increase this year. The property was initially listed at $85 million and later reduced to $75 million after receiving multiple offers. Michael Pallier of Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty, who handled the sale alongside Brad Pillinger from Pillinger, confirmed that the price sold for a figure around the latest guide but did not disclose the exact amount or buyer's identity. The Magids had purchased the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home in 1998 for $7.35 million, beating interest from Star Wars director George Lucas at the time. Pallier noted that such sales can boost market confidence when vendors are willing to adjust prices to meet current conditions.
