An Edwardian-era harbourside apartment in Elizabeth Bay, Sydney, passed in at auction with a price of $2.2 million, as reported by Dan F Stapleton in The Sydney Morning Herald.

Despite its house-like proportions, heritage features and proximity to Rushcutters Bay Park, the apartment did not attract a successful bid on Saturday. The property had been expected to sell but failed to meet its reserve.

The outcome highlights the current cooling in Sydney's prestige property market, where even well-located heritage properties are struggling to find buyers at expected prices. The apartment's location in Elizabeth Bay, a harbourside suburb, typically commands high demand.

The auction result is one of several recent indicators of a softening market in Sydney's upper-tier housing segment.
