Hello,
I listed my property for auction in November one month ago with a reasonable reserve price.
Our agent told us last week that the market is volatile and has changed considerably since we signed the property for auction and recommended that we drop the reserve price by at least $20,000.
The property is listed under $400,000 and we are unsure where to go with this advice.
I thought I would ask some more experience investors about the antics of agents and whether they would take this advice seriously or not. The agent said that we should make our house price lower that the market value to ensure a sale.
I'm naive but still sceptical.
Thankyou
