How to buy property at auction

Auctions are designed to create competition and emotion. The buyers who do well prepare everything beforehand and bid with a clear head.

Before auction day

Unconditional bids mean there's no cooling-off period, so do the work first:

• Get finance pre-approved and know your absolute ceiling.
• Complete building & pest inspections and contract review early.
• Research comparable sales so your limit is based on value, not hope.
• Register to bid and understand the rules in your state.

On the day

Bid clearly and confidently, control the pace, and never chase past your limit. If it passes in, the highest bidder usually gets first right to negotiate. If emotion is a risk, this is exactly why buyers engage a buyer's agent to bid for them.
