26 April 2013 - The Rise of Auctions

The number of houses sold by auction is on the rise in Australia and New Zealand, fuelled by low listings and high levels of demand in big cities. Sydney and Auckland are leading the way for auction sales, as sellers take advantage of strong competitive conditions throughout the market. While the rising popularity of auctions is causing some concern among some real estate experts, market conditions look likely to favour auctions throughout 2013.
