"Should we still be auctioning in this market?" It's the question we get asked most at the moment. Our answer hasn't changed. ๐จ
Here's the reason that matters most: when buyers are cautious, nobody actually knows what a property is worth. Not the seller, not the buyer, not the agent. Put a price on it and you're guessing โ and if you guess high, you sit. Guess low and you've left money behind before you started.
An auction stops the guessing. Three weeks of competing buyers tell you exactly where the market is on your property, in real numbers, from people prepared to sign. That's not an opinion. That's the market answering the question.
The rest of it follows:
๐น An unconditional contract โ no finance clause, no cooling off, no building and pest fallout three weeks in
๐น No asking price, so nobody rules you out on a number before they've walked through the door
๐น A set timeframe, not three months of wondering
๐น Three chances to sell โ before, on the day, or straight after
The auction date isn't a cliff. It's a deadline that makes buyers act, and it works whether the market is running hot or taking its time.
