About 50 people attended the sale of 16 Noble Drive, a four-year-old, four-bedroom property situated on 860sqm of land in the city's east.
Bidding began much lower than the minimum expected sale price of $799,999 at $750,000, but soon rose by increments of $25,000, $10,000, $5000 and $1000.
In the end it appeared to be a mother-daughter duo which trumped about three other bidders to snap up the home for $909,000, $30,000 above expectation.
Nearby, nearly 35 people attended the auction of 3/6 Riverdale Court, a three-bedroom home also in east Warrnambool.
Bids began at $470,000 and rose in $10,000 jumps between three bidders, eventually selling to a local investor for a total of $530,000.
While the reserve price was undisclosed, the property sold for $30,000 above its indicative selling price.
Homeseeka agent Peter Herbert said it was a good result.
"It was a good result and the vendor was happy with the result and the purchaser was ecstatic," he said.
"So two very happy people, which is great."
