A Few Auction Facts

In 2008 alone, $58.6 billion in real estate was sold at auction according to the National Association of Auctioneers (NAA). The group adds that residential real estate auctions are the fastest growing sector of the quarter-trillion dollar auction industry. Real estate auctions have already grown by 30% over the last 5 years in the U.S., according to NuWire Investor. The report adds that both the National Association of Realtors, and the NAA, say that 1 out of every 3 real estate transactions will be sold at auction by 2010/2011 – a 10% increase from 2009.  The continuing foreclosures trend has been a boon for the auction industry.

The NAA report states, “Real estate auction marketing has historically become the method of choice during times of economic stress. Some of the most well established niche based auction companies grew most successful when times were tough.” The report adds that right now, the group is already seeing the shift.

NuWire Investor pinpoints five more reasons why auctions are currently gaining so much popularity:

1. Auctions set the seller apart from other competitive sellers.
2. Everything is sold as-is, contingency free – reducing frustration.
3. Auctions create increased competition between & among buyers.
4. Auction transactions are accelerated - the savings in carrying costs alone can make a big impact on the bottom line for a seller.
5. Auctions do away with a list price. This may be perceived as beneficial in tough economic times when determining value is more difficult.

A Few Auction Myths

Last Option:  Many people think that if a property is up for auction then the sellers have reached their “last option” (possible causes; death of a family member, foreclosure, bankruptcy, etc.) Rather, Auctions are a CHOICE for today's buyers and sellers and for many it is their FIRST choice. The reasons for auctions are as varied as the number of property and items that can be sold.

Only Foreclosures and Distressed Properties. Actually distressed or foreclosure properties only make up a small percentage of auctioned properties.

Must Have Auction Experience:  Another myth is that you have to be an "experienced" auction-goer in order to buy and sell when in fact the majority of people attending a real estate auction are there for the first time.  Everyone is welcome and the staff is great about helping first timers to understand how auctions work, how to make a bid, etc.

"I attended the Short Sale Access Seminar on August 26th and it was excellent.   I recieved a thorough education of the Short Sale Process from the Notice of Default to documents required of the Home Owner to the eventual Short Sale.  The Seminar Training was organized and easy to follow.   I would highly recommend this training to others."
