It's like the 3rd time this has happened. I saw a GREAT property today for the first time on realestate.com.au. I call/email the agent resposible for it to ask when we can inspect it. Turns out it's just been sold. When I ask how long the property has been on the market for, he replied "2 weeks". That's BS. If so, I would've seen it prior to today. How much did it sell for? Every time it's less than what I would've offered or what it would've gone for had there been an auction.
Is it just me or has anyone else experienced this? It's as though agents are hoarding these great properties for mates or something and selling it for a lower price…before everyone else has a chance to even inspect it.
Some houses are on the market but not advertised. They’re shown to interested buyers in a more private manner to see how much enthusiasm there is on the market for them. If this fails, then they will begin public advertising of it.
