They have apparently had a lot of people look at it and a few deals nearly made it but fell through. So they will sell it eventually. Interiors can be changed.
Yep, that tree was magnificent.
It was definitely better than H3.
Some stuff in it wasn't for me, but I am surprised it is yet to sell.
I mean it's not that hard to change some of the furniture, you could easily re-work that living and dining which was probably the most polarising (maybe the wardrobe) part of the house

I've just been looking, and I can't find anything that says that Leah & Ash have sold their house. It's still unsold. It's still listed on Domain as for sale. LMAO.

Leah and Ash from The Block 2023 finally sell House 2, make $155,000 profit
In what can only be described as a classic Queenslander comeback move, not only have the couple sold their house nearly four months after The Block finale, they’ve sold it for $155,000 profit, putting them in third place behind fan favourites Steph and Gian, and Eliza and Liberty.

Leah and Ash from The Block 2023 finally sell House 2, make $155,000 profit
Leah and Ash have finally sold their house from The Block 2023 and netted themselves $155,000 profit, nearly four months after last year’s record-breaking finale.
Domain can exclusively reveal a deal was inked last Thursday evening after a bidding war for the property broke out between two buyers, one of whom is understood to have been a high-profile celebrity.
A contract was signed and accepted by Nine at the price of $3.125 million, selling agent Noel Susay of Buxton Hampton East has confirmed, and has now gone unconditional. The Malaysian-based buyers intend to keep the house as their Australian home.
Leah and Ash were the only contestants to walk away empty-handed from Charming Street, Hampton East, last year.
On an auction night filled with drama, Leah and Ash elected to pass in their property rather than sell at a price at, or close to, their $2.97 million reserve in the hopes of netting a higher-value sale post-auction.
Since then, hope had been fading for the pair. Despite reports of multiple offers on the property in the days following the auction, Leah and Ash’s house did not sell before Christmas, and an updated statement of information for the property revealed the asking price had been dropped from $3.2 million to $3.125 million.
But in a classic Queenslander comeback, the Brisbane couple have not just sold their Block house, they’ve sold it for a $155,000 profit, which technically now puts them in third place behind fan favourites Steph and Gian (House 4) and Eliza and Liberty (House 5 ) – and ahead of the two other “small” houses.
Including the Ford Mustang which Leah and Ash also won during the final room reveal week, the value of the couple’s winnings now total $235,000.
Kyle and Leslie, of House 1, walked away on auction day with $130,000, while Kristy and Brett, of House 3, pocketed just $65,000.
“They’re so happy. Obviously it’s dragged on and everyone’s been asking if it’s sold and you sometimes feel deflated and you’re thinking ‘have you done the right thing’,” he says.
“As agents, I said to them just then – ‘we appreciate them sticking with us’. I’ve never given up hope. It’s been a bit of a slog since the auctions but my colleague Tara Flynn and I have just kept working hard, we’ve done everything we could. So many open homes, so many messages, so many calls, so many emails.
“We had some people teasing us, saying, ‘This year’s House 2 will sell before your House 2,’ but here we are, selling to a genuine buyer who is going to live in it. It’s going to be their Australian base; it’s not a celebrity buyer bidding on TV, they are buyers who fell in love with Leah and Ash’s eclectic style and will make the home their own to keep. It’s a life-changing thing.”
The new buyers posed with the sold sticker before hopping on a plane back to Malaysia on the weekend, while Leah and Ash flew into Melbourne for the weekend ahead of the contract being exchanged.
Susay describes the sale price of $3.125 million as “record territory” for Hampton East.
“In a normal market [outside of The Block], this is unchartered territory and a positive sign for the market,” he says.
“It’s a success story.”
