Sydney buyers are facing the same issue every weekend underquoting is back in full force across the west and inner west.
Punchbowl sold 31% above the guide.
Burwood was 28% higher.
Belmore hit 15% above.
Buyers are calling the process “demoralising” and “exhausting”.
The NSW Government has now committed $8.4 million to crack down on price baiting a sign of how widespread it’s become.
Low guides pull buyers into crowded auctions that drain confidence and push budgets beyond comfort.
Homer data confirms it: 220+ selling agents have quoted at least 10% under sale price this year, with nearly 60% of those cases in NSW.
