Selling houses in Australia
I went to an auction of a house round the corner from us to be nosy. Unusually, it was held on a Thursday evening.
I went through the front door of the house and it was like being at the best house party ever. The auctioneers had put on beer, wine, food, a live duo singing elevator music, the works. There were about 300 people there, about half of whom I knew. We were quite sad when it was time to start the bidding and end the party.
The whole gig must have cost the agents about $2000 tops, but as a way to demonstrate to potential purchasers what a friendly neighbourhood we live in, it was priceless.

Clever marketing/selling strategy by the agent.

If it gives you an extra 100,000 on your house sale, steal all you want.

Re: Selling houses in Australia
What happened at the actual auction? Did the ploy work? (sounds like a fun neighbourhood!)
