Auction

Our 22 November portfolio started another week of high auction activity, with the majority of the properties attracting very competitive bidding.

With Level 3 Lockdown still in place, our real estate activity has continued using the Online virtual platform to conduct auctions, giving our vendor clients the opportunity to sell with a totally unconditional sale agreement.

Despite the continuation of the lockdown restrictions real estate activity, as indicated above, has continued with an obvious confidence which has been amply demonstrated with multi bidding competition for the properties that have been offered For Sale through our Auction Programmes.  The sale success has been a tribute to the quality of our clients’ properties and also the demand to live within our Eastern Beaches area.

From its preauction offer of $1,650,000 and with 19 further bids it sold “under the hammer “ at $1,810,000.

So , despite the continued interruptions of Lockdown, extremely pleasing, positive , competitive bidding, for these  properties sold under the hammer , but also, it needs to be acknowledged that the sales provided buyers with an opportunity to buy quality real estate assets knowing that while having to competitively bid/ buy to be the “winner” they were bidding/buying property that was also the first choice for a number of other buyers.

It has been quite apparent that both vendors and buyers have made transaction decisions to best suit their current requirements, not needing more time to secure their future, after all, life does not wait for any of us, and we should note that there are now only two and a half weeks left to complete a real estate transaction prior to the Christmas/ New Year break.

The excellent prices achieved confirmed our ability to maximise price for our vendors, however, to achieve such results, buyer interest, working with our mortgage broker partners, bidding registrations and actual competitive bidding are the components to achieving great results.

This was all completed despite all the challenges of our continued Level 3 Lockdown.
