The Adelaide auction market is on fire in 2024, with high demand and great results creating a competitive space for both buyers and sellers. In August, Eclipse Real Estate sent five properties under the hammer, and all of them sold—proof of just how active things are right now. The final weekend of August saw Adelaide outshine other states with a 77% auction success rate, proving that auctions are still one of the hottest ways to sell property in South Australia.
For buyers, preparation is everything in this fast-moving market. Get your finances sorted and know your budget. Auctions can be a whirlwind, so it’s easy to get carried away. Stay focused and stick to your limits. If you’re new to the scene, attend a few auctions as a spectator to get the hang of it before you jump in. And don’t hesitate to reach out to the selling agent with any questions ahead of time.
For sellers, success starts with preparation too. Staging your home is key—make sure it’s looking its best to attract more potential buyers. A solid marketing strategy is just as important, so work with your agent to really showcase your property’s top features. And when auction day arrives, trust in your auctioneer’s expertise to guide the process and get the best result.
