Introducing the “DEADLINE SALE” A Sydney Property Game Changer
Hey Sydney! 🌆
Ever thought there was another way to sell property, perhaps something in between a private treaty sale and an auction.
Well, there is, and it's called the Deadline Sale. A massive hit in New Zealand, Which we're bringing it to our shores for a fresh approach to real estate.
What is a Deadline Sale?
With a deadline sale basically we are setting a "deadline" to submit offers on a property.
As opposed to an Auction where buyers bid against each other publicly, With a deadline sale buyers have a set time frame to make their best offer based off their own market analysis in privacy & without the risk of competitors being aware of the offer you have made and being able to bid higher on the spot - Exciting, right?
Pros and Cons for Sellers:
Pros:
Market Exposure: The property is marketed for a fixed period usually a few weeks, increasing its visibility and helping to prevent premature selling.
Flexibility: Sellers can accept an offer before the deadline if the buyer is willing to present an offer with unconditional terms.
Competition: With multiple buyers interested, there’s potential for a higher sale price.
Cons:
Uncertainty: There's no guarantee the property will sell at the deadline, For example if no offers are received.
Wait Time: Sellers have to wait until the deadline to review all offers unless they are made with unconditional terms.
Possibility of Low Offers: There's a risk that all offers might be below expectation.
Pros and Cons for Buyers:
Pros:
No pressure: Unlike auctions, there's no immediate pressure to bid or increase your offer; take your time to research and make an offer that works for you.
Flexibility: You can offer what you believe the property is worth - And dont have to worry about what everyone else is doing.
Cons:
Competition: Others are also eyeing the same property; you might have to make a competitive offer.
Uncertainty: Without knowing other offers, you might wonder if yours is good enough.
