Auction or Deadline Sale? What’s best for Te Atatū Peninsula?

By Tihana Vlasich

Selling your Te Atatū home? Our local team gives an “honest,” “simple” guide on the best sale method.

When it comes time to sell your Te Atatū home, you have options. But “honestly,” all the different methods can feel like “hard work.”

As your local “approachable” experts, let’s “take the hard work out of” the two most popular methods: Auction and Deadline Sale.

1. Auction

  • What it is: A “simple,” “honest,” and public sale on a set date.
  • Why it works on “the Pen”: Te Atatū Peninsula is in demand. An “energetic” auction creates competition and finds the true market value. It’s transparent for buyers and gets you the best “unconditional” price. It’s “honestly” our specialty.
  • Best for: Most “human” homes, especially “stylish” character bungalows or homes with a “coastal” view.

2. Deadline Sale (or Deadline “Treaty”)

  • What it is: A “silent auction.” All offers are in by a “simple,” set date.
  • Why it works: It’s “approachable” for buyers who might be scared of an “energetic” auction. It gives them time to get their “ducks in a row.”
  • Best for: Properties that might appeal to a “simple” first-home buyer (who may need a finance condition), or for “stylish” new-build townhouses.

Which one is for you?

“Honestly,” it depends on your “human” property. The “simple” answer is to have a chat.

When we do a property appraisal, we don’t just give you a price. We give you a “simple” strategy. Give us a bell, and we’ll give you our “honest” advice.
