Auctions – the way to sell in this market!
Even the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of first home buyers last Saturday. Any thoughts that we are in a recession would have quickly disintegrated upon the arrival of the crowd at Mile End for the auction of a unit at Falcon Avenue. The 25 bidder registrations came as no surprise, as there was a strong attendance at the open inspections throughout the campaign.
I would challenge you to determine if this was luck. Two weeks ago two larger properties we marketed in a different price bracket that we auctioned – a character bungalow at Cowandilla and another in Mile End. Both attracted a large crowd and plenty of interest. Both of these homes were successfully sold, one achieving a record price. A comment from the auctioneer and the agent, Mark Sheppard the Principal of Brock Harcourts Mile End, could not have proved to be more true – “ladies and gentleman – it has been said that we are in a recession and the property market is in decline, we sure haven’t seen that today”.
It is a common misconception in the market place that auctions don’t achieve a good result. To achieve a successful outcome at auction, you must rely on more than luck and ensure that your agent creates the right atmosphere on auction day, which requires a lot of behind the scenes work that involves diligence, hard work, strong marketing and an agent that is willing to go that extra yard.
