Joe Hildebrand House
Joe and his wife Tara were overjoyed when their two-bedroom Stanmore home sold for $1.57 million. On the day of the auction, the house at 32 Railway Ave drew five registered bidders, four of whom participated.
This was one of 776 properties in Sydney slated for auction this Saturday. CoreLogic observed an early clearing rate of 65.26 percent with 475 results in by today evening — roughly 6% lower than last Saturday’s clearance rate of 71.24 percent.
However, the percentage is much lower than the 78.52 percent clearance rate recorded on the same weekend last year. BresicWhitney head auctioneer Gavin Croft opened proceedings in Stanmore with a $1.3 million opening bid, with increments of $25,000, $10,000, and $5000.
A winning bid of $1.57 million was enough to acquire the property, with selling agent Chris Nunn of BresicWhitney Glebe describing it as a win-win situation for both parties.

Joe Hildebrand Controversies
In 2014, Hildebrand faced multiple difficulties, including a panel discussion in which he implied Rosie Batty’s father, Greg Anderson, was involved in her son’s death. Later, Hildebrand and Network 10 apologized for racial remarks aired on their Triple M show The One Percenters, which sparked uproar in Colombia. Commenters suggested that all Colombians are drug addicts, mentioned cocaine and gangs, and stated that Colombians enjoy coffee.
The Colombian embassy in Australia demanded that the radio DJs be prosecuted under the 1975 Australian Racial Discrimination Act. Hildebrand was also chastised on social media for homophobic tweets he posted when Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe came out as gay. The incidents brought to light the ongoing dispute about the role of the media in moulding public opinion and addressing issues of race, gender, and sexuality.
