One may work better than the other depending on several factors.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we\u2019ll go through both methods in detail so that you can figure out which process suits your situation best.<\/p>\n<h2>Private Sales<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What Is The Process Like?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe private sales method involves advertising the property at a set asking price or a suggested price range. From there, interested buyers put in their offers via the real estate agent or directly through the seller. Once that\u2019s done, the negotiation process begins. The average duration for the negotiation process is a short 1 to 3 days which includes going back and forth on the pricing at most 3 times.<\/p>\n<p>The key difference between a private sale and auction is of course the element of a deadline. With a private sale, buyers and sellers have more liberty to negotiate on the final price; however with an auction, the final deal is determined on the spot.<\/p>\n<p>That said, other factors also contribute to whether it is a good option for you. Below we look at some pros and cons of the private sales method to help you decide.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1007\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/house-CT-1024x593.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/house-CT-1024x593.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/house-CT-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/house-CT-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/house-CT-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/house-CT-350x203.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/house-CT.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Are The Pros And Cons?<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"max-width: 640px; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 42.5859px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 593.414px;\">\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0<strong>PROS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 42.5859px; text-align: center;\">\u00a01.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 593.414px;\"><strong>Potentially quicker than auctions.<br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;\">Auction campaigns can take up to 4 weeks to be fully completed, between marketing the property and hosting the auction itself. <\/span>But if an immediate offer comes up via the private sales method, you can act on it quickly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 42.5859px; text-align: center;\">\u00a02.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 593.414px;\"><strong>Offers more flexibility.<br \/>\n<\/strong>There is more control associated with a private sale.

Private sales are inherently less structured and there is no guarantee on when your property will be sold. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pricing your property is tricky and if you or your agent get it wrong, this could have a direct impact on how long your property remains on the market.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if there are interested buyers, the negotiation process in itself can take up time too. Whereas with an auction, there is no room to go back and forth on the price once the bid has been submitted.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 42.5859px; text-align: center;\">\u00a02.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 593.414px;\"><strong>Lack of urgency.<\/strong><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the lack of urgency of private sales, potential buyers can spend some time shopping around and considering other options.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this is an advantage from the buyer&#8217;s perspective, as a seller this can make the process more drawn out which can also have a direct impact on the final price. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- DivTable.com --><\/p>\n<h2>Auctions<\/h2>\n<h2>What Is The Process Like?<\/h2>\n<p>Auctions are more structured than private sales and require a marketing campaign followed by a sale held at a specific date, time and location. A real estate agent will agree upon a reserve price with the seller prior to running the auction. This refers to the lowest price the seller is willing to sell the property for. Bidders must either meet or exceed the reserve price to successfully secure the property.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1008\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/keys-CT-1024x677.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/keys-CT-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/keys-CT-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/keys-CT-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/keys-CT-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/keys-CT-350x232.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/keys-CT.jpg 1176w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Are The Pros And Cons?<\/h2>\n<table style=\"max-width: 640px; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 42.5859px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 593.414px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 42.5859px; text-align: center;\">\u00a01.<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 593.414px;\"><strong>Has a fixed deadline<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you need your property sold by a certain time, auction is the way to go.

While planning and executing the auction may take up to 4 weeks, there is a better chance of your home being sold.<\/p>\n<p>It may not close at the price you\u2019re hoping for, but if you are in a rush this might be your best bet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. What are the current market conditions? Can you wait to time your sale?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf market conditions look favourable, you might want to consider a private sales option. Private sales would give you better flexibility in deciding when exactly to close the deal, allowing you to take advantage of good market conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. How important is privacy to you?<\/strong><br \/>\nDepending on how highly you value privacy, auctions may be out of the question. If you\u2019re uncomfortable with having information about your home being displayed out in the open, a private sales method might be more suitable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. How much money are you willing to invest in marketing costs?<\/strong><br \/>\nAuctions require marketing campaigns to promote the properties beforehand and these costs can really add up. If you\u2019re unwilling to spend a lot on marketing, you might be better off with a private sales option.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Only 20-30% of homes sold in Australia are closed via auctions, indicating that private sales are the most preferred method. However, just because the private sales route is more popular does not mean that it is the best suited method for your particular situation.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the right method, unfortunately, is not as clear cut and there are factors specific to your property type and location that need to be looked at. As always, we recommend speaking to a trusted agent with experience specific to your area for better insights into the sales process.<\/p>\n<p>Need help figuring out how to decide or have any other questions related to the sales process? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctrealestate.com.au\/zh\/contact\/\">CT \u623f\u5730\u4ea7\u516c\u53f8<\/a> are experts when it comes to real estate in the Melbourne CBD and surrounding suburbs.
