Ray White Now - July 2024 | Page 13

The past year and a half has seen a consistent pattern in auction participation . On average , auctions attract 4.4 registered bidders , with 2.8 of these typically engaging actively in the bidding process . These numbers closely align with last month ’ s figures of 4.6 and 2.9 , respectively .
Financing continues to be a key concern for many potential buyers . Interest rate changes play a crucial role in shaping their decisions to commit to property purchases . However , if the current trend of high price growth persists , we might see an increase in buyers choosing to secure properties earlier , potentially leading to higher participation rates at auctions .
