Hollywood heavyweight Isla Fisher Sydney apartment sale has been delayed just hours before it was set to go to auction.

The “newly renovated” two-bedroom Woollahra property is located just meters from Centennial Park and boasts walking distances from Bondi Junction.

Ms Fisher, who shot to fame after staring in Wedding Crashers and Confessions of a Shopaholic, purchased the home in 1995 for just $171,500 after landing a gig on Home and Away.

She was 19 when she made the purchase.

The auction was set for 11.30am on September 28, just hours ahead of the AFL Grand Final.

But on Saturday morning the auction was delayed for two weeks, with an inspection still listed at 11am.

JK Agency is leading the sale, advertising the property as “New York-inspired” offering the best of Sydney’s east.

JK Agency principal salesman Michael Minogue said the auction was pushed back to October 12 as the market was a “bit soft” at the moment.

He said the price guide has since been cut from $1 million to $900,000 hoping to drum up more interest.

“The vendor’s said let’s get it sold,” he said.

“We’ll go in two weeks if not sold prior — there’s already a bit of interest.”

The listing for the apartment reads: “Flooded with natural light, it blends serene park-side living with a cosmopolitan flair, all within a stone’s throw from Sydney’s most sought-after spots.”

“Directly across from Centennial Park, this newly renovated home brings you the ultimate convenience.

“Whether it’s a morning coffee at Woollahra Village or a shopping spree at Bondi Junction, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of nature and city life.”

The two bed one bath apartment is located on level two of 96 Wallis St in Woollahra.

It was most recently listed for rent at $400 a week in February 2021.

Ms Fisher’s decision to sell comes after a quiet split with British comedy star Sacha Baron Cohen in 2023.
