Frequently Asked Questions
Should I sell my Fairfield house at auction or private sale?
Given Fairfield’s 78% auction clearance rate, auction is usually the better method for houses. Auction creates competitive tension between buyers that can push the price 5-15% above the reserve. Private sale works better for unique properties or when you need a longer settlement period.
