Choosing between auction and private sale in Fitzroy in 2026 depends on your property type, buyer demand, and risk preferences. Auctions tend to attract competitive buyers for period homes and create urgency, which can lead to a premium result—particularly if recent local campaigns have drawn strong crowds. Private sales may suit unique or premium apartments, or where privacy is a concern. Review Fitzroy’s recent sales evidence with your agent, including days on market, recent auction clearance rates, and median price trends for your property type. Consider timing and local demand cycles as well. For tailored advice on the best method for your Fitzroy property in 2026, contact us: https://www.collings.com.au/contact/
