Real Estate Auctions – ListedBy KNOWLEDGE CENTRE – What is a ‘No Reserve’ Auction?
Certainty of a Sale Under a ‘No Reserve’ Real Estate Auction Strategy benefits Both Buyer and Seller
For those entering the real estate auction world, a ‘No Reserve’ auction legally binds the seller to release the property at the highest bid above the minimum starting bid price set by the seller.
In a nutshell, the strategy sets a minimum price the bidding should start at, and sells the asset to the highest bidder at auction expiry. Unlike a Reserve Auction where a hidden reserve price has to be reached by a bidder before the seller is obligated to sell the property.
A No Reserve auction strategy has a number of associated benefits including knowing in advance that the property will actually sell by auction expiry, once an initial bid above the starting minimum bid has been recorded. This benefits both the seller and prospective buyers.
