位于Palmerston North的一套房屋,屋主准备以1NZD起拍价进行拍卖。
屋主说,附近一套类似的房产已经上市几个月没有成交,他想尽快卖掉自己的房产,所以选择1NZD起拍。
该地区的销售水平,比10年平均值下降了35%,而且还持续下跌。
One person came to the first open home of James Faber’s Palmerston North property, which convinced him to take a risk on a $1 reserve auction.
A similar property nearby had sat on the market for months, partly because deals had fallen through, Faber said.
“I just wanted it sold and wanted it sold fast,” he said.
His decision to sell by auction also bucks the trend, with CoreLogic data showing sellers increasingly avoiding the sale method.
Before listing, online valuations put Faber’s three-bedroom property at $580,000.
“The market’s doing nothing but going downwards, so I’ve been expecting to go below market value, and hoping it would at least get in the region of $420,000 to $430,000 range,” he said.
According to CoreLogic data nationwide the auction proportion has fallen from 25% of sales at the start of last year to 14% in April.
In Auckland the figure sat at 26%, Tauranga 34% and Christchurch 36%. In Wellington the auction proportion dropped to 2% in April.
Goodall said Auckland shows just how unappealing auctions have become – 68% of listings used this method at the peak of the market in November 2021.
“Vendors prefer to keep pricing discussions private,” Goodall said.
“Price by negotiation has increased from 16% in November 2021 to 35% more recently, alongside private treaty, from 4% to 18%.
“Interestingly properties listed for sale with an asking price has increased over that time, but not by as much as the other options – from 5% to 14%.”
