Salamanca Realty’s Alan Clark said the response from the market had been overwhelming.
“The auction is receiving great interest with over 25 separate couples attending our first open home and over 35 inquiries in just one week’s marketing,” he said.
“Auctions are not suitable for every property or every vendor, but in a challenging market, or a ‘hot’ peak market, it does bring the interest to a head.
“In a competitive environment, it helps bring people with serious interest in one place, at a set time, with an honest and transparent sales process that can be trusted by prospective buyers as truly reflecting the current market.”
