The NSW Government is releasing more flood-affected homes for sale across the Northern Rivers after a very strong community response to the first two home relocation auctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be a rolling release of homes available for auction and relocation, with 45 flood-affected properties in the Northern Rivers sold already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This next release by the NSW Reconstruction Authority will include nine buyback homes from Burringbar and South Murwillumbah going to auction on 12 August 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All homes earmarked for relocation have been purchased by the RA through the buyback stream of the $880 million Resilient Homes Program, jointly funded by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Australia\u2019s largest climate adaptation initiative, the program is helping create safer communities by removing flood-prone homes from the floodplain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the buyers have been locals, paying between $347 and $101,000 for the houses so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no reserve price on these houses, meaning bidding can start and end at $1, making it one of the most accessible housing opportunities in Australia. Successful bidders will have 12 months to relocate the houses to flood-free land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RA remains firmly committed to reusing and relocating as many flood-affected homes as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
