Buyers shouldn’t be scared to make offers before auction in the current market as there will be more vendors like the owners of 3/25 Ti-tree Grove East, Parkdale which was sold before auction. The property sold for $830,000 to a young couple as the owners didn’t want to take the risk with going ahead with an auction and they had a solid offer before auction.
