Isla Fisher has postponed the sale of her Sydney apartment just hours before it was set to go under the hammer at auction.
The 48-year-old Wedding Crashers star bought the apartment, located in the Sydney suburb of Woolahra, in 1995, at the age of 19, for just $171,500 after landing her role in Home And Away.
The auction took place just hours before Saturday’s AFL Grand final, but as reported by News Corpthe auction was postponed for two weeks.
Michael Minogue, director of JK Agency, told the publication that the auction had been suspended due to a ‘soft’ market and that the price guide had been lowered from $1 million to $900,000 to generate more interest.
“The seller said, let’s sell it,” he told the publication.
‘If we are not sold before, we will go in two weeks. There is already some interest.’
The 2-bedroom Woollahra accommodation is located just meters from Centennial Park and just a short walk from Bondi Junction.
The listing describes the pad as having a “New York-inspired vibe” and featuring high ceilings and “stunning” historic details.

The 48-year-old Wedding Crashers star bought the apartment, located in the Sydney suburb of Woolahra, in 1995 at the age of 19 for just $171,500 after landing her role in Home And Away.
Isla managed to keep the house on a narrow winning streak during her divorce from husband Sacha Baron Cohen.
The former Home and Away star was just 19 when she first bought the 1930s Woollahra flat, and the flat was renovated years later in 2020.
Isla and Sacha, 52, who have jointly filed to end their marriage in 2023, share two daughters and a son who they often keep out of the public eye.
The couple first met in 2001 and tied the knot in 2010, with the end of their marriage coming just a few years after their family moved to Australia.

They had moved from Los Angeles to Sydney in 2020 and to Perth – where Isla’s family live – in September 2021 to escape Sydney’s strict Covid lockdown rules.
At the time they said the move to Western Australia would be permanent.
However, their move from the US to Australia would be ‘difficult’ for Sacha as he had settled in Hollywood with a shorter flight to London from there.
The exes announced in April that they had quietly split last year.
“After a long tennis match of more than twenty years, we finally put down our rackets,” Isla captioned a photo of them wearing tennis clothes.
‘In 2023 we jointly filed an application to end our marriage. We have always prioritized our privacy and have been working through this change quietly.
“We share forever in our devotion and love for our children. We very much appreciate that you respect our family’s wishes for privacy.’
