RESERVES ARE RISING
While market forces took unpredictable turns though much of last financial year, there was no denying the success of auctions in the local market from the second half of 2021
Historically in Australia, private treaty has been the most common sale method for property List a home for a price that reflects market value, receive offers from buyers, negotiate and accept an offer that meets the needs of both parties
Taking a property to auction removes a set price from the equation, which has traditionally been seen as a barrier to entry, particularly for first home buyers Without the benefit of a cooling off period, auctions have typically only attracted certain kinds of buyers - those who can meet the unconditional circumstances of buying on the day
While auctions have always produced the best results when the market is strong, not surprisingly, what began to play out in the auction space in 2021 defied any historic precedent. Across the country, the number of properties clearing at auction rose steadily through May and June as a shortage of supply was met with strong demand
What was perhaps most surprising was the average number of bidders per auction actually increased through the worst months of pandemic, with numbers higher then pre-Covid The strategic move to online auctions by the Ray White Group nationwide enabled sellers and buyers to transact safely and transparently through this period, which contributed to the increase in both numbers and confidence
Combined with government stimulus, loan pre-approvals also rose to record levels Loan Market recorded its highest month of settlements - topping $1 billion in loans - in May 2021 This wave of new, pre-approved buyers was now entering the market and able to compete at auction
Gavin Croft, Chief Auctioneer for Ray White Corporate Queensland said the southern Gold Coast has been a standout market across Queensland so far this financial year "The sheer volume of enquires and inspections has been overwhelming which is being translated through to a record number of bidders across our 24 auction events Ray White Tugun/Elanora currently holds a clearance of 92 5% of auctions selling under the hammer or prior to auction this financial year
"Our online audience continues to grow as buyers, sellers and interested members of the community tune in every fortnight Watching a number of our auctions sell for record prices is giving many sellers confidence to list, with auction being the preferred method of choice for any seller looking to achieve the markets best price"
In a seller's market like the one seen in the back half of 2021 through to now, an auction creates the conditions to leverage competition between buyers, often pushing the price beyond what could be achieved through a traditional private treaty sale, where the presence of competition is not felt as highly
Why auctions, why now?
