In a finale like no other, The Block ended on Sunday night with a series first: a celebrity buyer. Josh and Elyse’s stunning property was bought by Melbourne-based radio host and comedian Dave Hughes.
“I don’t live too far away and I was driving past and I was thinking, “gee it is a good spot, it is a good house, it is a good area,” he said.
“And now we own it.” Hughes bought the property for $3,067,000, meaning 28-year-old Josh and 24-year-old Elyse pocketed $447,000. They described the moment as “life changing”.
Congrats @DHughesy! The newest owner of @JoshAndElyse‘s home on @TheBlock #9TheBlock ???????? pic.twitter.com/WLdGTZme0r

i wrote in many posts the auction order was go 1st,or 2nd,the rest was crap,do you think ronnie/georgia listened,why would they not fight for these 2 spots,like they did with all the others?,for 3 months work,24/7,to win $160k,$130k,$95k is a kick in the teeth,considering how lazy jason was.
It was a well deserved win. When you consider Ronnie and Georgia almost walked away with NOTHING, it shows how hard the market is. Not bad for 12 weeks of work though!
