What happens next for Dylan and Jenny: The block auctioneer says the losing couple’s home will sell after their auction-day heartbreak — and could even hit $4.8 million
The auctioneer who managed Jenny Heath and Dylan Adams’ home on The Block says there is still hope for the couple following their disastrous failure to sell during Sunday’s finale.
Jenny, 25, and Dylan, 29, were heartbroken after their property was auctioned off in Gisborne. They weren’t the only ones who didn’t sell their makeover, however, as Sharon Johal and Ankur Dogra also didn’t get anything.
Damien Cooley told Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa on Monday that the blockheads are now seeking buyers with hopes well above the original reserve.

He told radio hosts Ryan “Fitzy” Fitzgerald and Michael “Wippa” Wipfli that the couple could expect a sale of between $4.3 million and $4.8 million.
The highest bid they received Sunday for their five-bedroom, three-bathroom home was $4,075,000, just below the $4,080,000 reserve price.
Cooley said the house is going back to the market, but Jenny and Dylan are also open to offers from those who attended Sunday’s auction but did not bid.

“They will now enter into negotiations and I expect that they will most likely ask for a price well above the published reserve,” he said.
When Jenny and Dylan faced the prospect of not selling their house, Ankur and Sharon were dealt similar cards in House 3.
Both couples continued to negotiate with their winning bidders after the auction ended, but by 9pm on Sunday neither had sold their house.
“They will now enter into negotiations and I expect that they will most likely ask for a price well in excess of the published reserve,” Cooley said
It marked the first time a block property had not gone up for auction since season four in 2011, when two houses, Josh and Jenna’s and Rod and Tanias, were handed over.
At the other end of the scale, Omar Slaimankhel and Oz Malik broke records with the biggest sale in Block history after offloading their Reno for $5,666,666.
“It’s been a bittersweet day,” host Scott Cam said.
“We had an incredible high and some crushing lows for our blockheads who all worked the hardest I’ve ever seen to deliver these homes.”
