Any Way to See The Asking Price/Range on Allhomes 'auction' Properties?

Hey OzBaggers. I'm looking at apartments in Melbourne and almost everything is listed as auction (i.e. no price listed).

I have a $50k to 500k filter on so I know they're within that range, which tells me there is a price listed on them somewhere in the back end. Are there any IT/web dev type operators that can help me find hidden elements of the page? I've read somewhere that this is an option with finding a hidden salary on Seek so I'm (obviously naively) assuming this might also be the case.

Here's one for example. Could be fun for $280k but I don't want to waste any time on it if they want $450k. (Obviously I can keep playing around with the filters to get to the bottom of it but I don't want to do that with every apartment for sale in this town).

Sorry if this has been answered before! I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

    You'll need to find the (same) listing on realestate.com though

    Checked the backend on allhomes, and they pretty much put that property price range as $0 to max so… ….

    Read the statement of information that's linked to on the page (just keep scrolling down until you find the statement of information section) - https://p-soi.domainstatic.com.au/soi-2019738096-3af5c65a87f…

    That's where they give the indicative range and how they came to that conclusion. Then look at the reasoning to see if they're lowballing the range.

    You should probably start going to auctions to get a feel for it too, even if you're not buying, You'll quickly learn that if something looks too good to be true at the price, it always is and the auction will go higher.

    better change that, you might be missing out on apartments under $50k

    I've never even heard of Allhomes. I thought Domain and Realestate were the only players

    • People in ACT never heard of Domain and Realestate :)

      • what an odd place

        • Then Domain bought it for $50m, so yeah lol

          Funfact : Founder of Allhomes create a another property website called Zango lol

  • Best approach is to look at sold properties. Check for similar ones that sold recently. Even if genuinely listed low, you are not the only buyer in the market.
