About this episode
In this Australian Property Podcast episode, Chris and Amy teach you how to win at auction. Basically, you just need to have an unlimited budget (just joking). Ultimately, the buyer with the most money often wins, but not always.
They explore:
The rules around auctions
Set rules (unlike private sales)
No cooling off (unless bought prior)
Reserve price
Pass ins
Transparent
They don’t always go ‘crazy’
Quote ranges
Auctions are about price, terms are prior agreed
Auction tips
Biggest tip: budget setting prior
Do all due diligence asap beforehand
Bidding with confidence
Don’t overthink strategy
Being the first bidder
Bidding increments
Have a plan for a pass in situation
Buying prior to auction
Strategic: moving swiftly and taking others by surprise, property likely towards or over top of budget so nothing to lose (put you out of misery sooner!), if you have 2 properties and your preferred one goes to auction second etc
Can be tricky: risk to vendor/agent, cooling off
Buy prior price versus sell at auction price
Similar to private sale episode advice:
Understand buy prior price, sometimes space to negotiate
Understand the process
Only go down this path if you’re serious
