Kenneth Boulding a respected economic commentator was quoted saying:
[In this auction we may expect the article to be sold to] “the most eager buyer at a price which is just about the highest he is willing to pay, for in this case the most eager buyer does not know what prices the other buyers are willing to give [and] … each buyer fear that someone may slip in ahead of him.
True enough, one can easily get enthralled in an auction bidding because of the competitive and crowd-cheering atmosphere. If you are looking to purchase your dream house in a closeout, it is critical to ensure that you are fully-equipped and are completely aware of your limitations.
Here are some questions to ask yourself to be more effective when buying a home at auction.
- Do you already have a formal pre-approval form?
Not all pre-approvals are equal. A formal pre-approval is a moneylender approved amount to lend, taking into account the full appraisal of your financial status. This implies your precise knowledge of your capacity to pay, and places you in a stronger bidding position.
- Do you know how much you can borrow at max?
Picking the right moneylender and item can spell out the distinction between getting the place you have always wanted and passing up a major opportunity. You may need someone to take over the legwork to keep you ahead of other potential buyers by coordinating with a number of loan specialists to work around your maximum lending capacity. Your maximum borrowing capacity implies the highest amount of money you can borrow – basically, your point of confinement when offering and bidding at an auction.
- Do you know how much you can bid at max?
Recognising your maximum bid is only one part of being equipped. Knowing how much the additional bid will cost you in week-after-week reimbursements can aid you in deciding whether to continue bidding or not.
- Have you gone to the house you would like to bid on?
When you have your funds secured, it’s time to go shop for your dream house! Find time to visit open houses and auctions. Learn the process by being right where the action is. Once you’ve find your dream home, ask for the terms and conditions from the sales agents. To participate in the bidding, you will need to enrol and have you inspections completed prior to the auction. Have concerns? Go ahead and ask so they can take note of it.
Note that you may be required to pay the agency about 5% – 10% deposit when you win the bidding.
