Last night’s The Block Australia finale was one for the history books – one pair made a record amount of money, one couple made one of the lowest amount of money in the show’s history, and two pairs went home empty-handed (and broken-hearted).
Each team had a reserve of $4,080,000, and whatever their house sold for over that amount, they were able to take home as profit.
With their house selling for $5.666,666 million – which was $$1,586,666 million over their reserve – Omar and Oz took out the win this season. They pocketed a $100,000 winning bonus, bringing their total amount to $1,786,666.66.
Tom and Sarah Jane sold their house for $4,100,000 – meaning they made just $20,000 – the second lowest profit in the show’s history.
However, they fared better than some of the other contestants, bids for Sharon and Ankur, Dylan and Jenny and Rachel and Ryan’s houses failed to meet the reserves, which meant the houses didn’t sell at auction and remained on the market. Fortunately for Rachel and Ryan, after filming wrapped their house was bought for $4.2 million dollars, resulting in them walking away with $169,000 in profits.
If you’ve missed some episodes – or the whole lead up to the finale – and are wondering what these multi-million dollar mansions look like, you can check out pics and videos of each house below.
