Auction.A quick guide to selling your property by auction.
Property insights.
In 2015, roughly one in three sales in Melbourne was by way of auction according to CoreLogic, particularly if you’re close to the CBD or have a high-end or unusual property, there’s a good chance agents will recommend selling by auction.
Auctions are effective in creating widespread publicity and reaching a large number of potential buyers, therefore creating market competition to achieve the highest possible price for you home.
Pros:
- 10% Deposit is payable on the day of auction, the sale is 100% unconditional with no cooling off period applicable.
- There is no upper limit for bids and competitive bidding in an auction atmosphere often enables vendors to achieve a sale price higher than their reserve.
- Auction works to a plan, the marketing strategy is carefully thought out, documented, and specially tailored to the property and a firm date is set for the potential sale.
- Generally means a campaigns run for 4 to 5 weeks and creates a greater build up to the auction day.
- No back and forth negotiating like in a private sales between seller and buyer.
- Pre-auction and post sales can also take place just like in private sales situation.
Cons:
- Auctions on the day can be stressful if not managed correctly by your agent. We at OBrien control the process with the vendor’s best interest at the fore. It’s important that a vendor chooses where and when they want to sell the property, the terms and conditions of sale and the price they are willing to accept.
- Sales are unconditional, so your buyers will need to be prepared to have pest and/or building inspections beforehand. Likewise, finance will need to be approved by the lending institution.
The quality of our service stems from the importance we place on the people behind our properties.
