Having just completed our 112th sale during the most recent lockdown, there is no doubt in our minds that buyers are getting used to the online auctions and virtual tours to purchase property.

This week we had 17 registered bidders for 1 online auction - based on 0 physical inspections of the home. Strong bidding during a 40minute online auction created another record result for the area during lockdown.

The Barry Plant Eastern Group virtually SOLD another 2 properties, with no physical inspections, by private sale last night - both properties had only been on the market for less than 48 hours.

If you asked a Real Estate Agent 3 years ago what was the likelihood of people buying a home with the only inspection tool being photos and videos, we would have said that was crazy! However, the world has changed - and in today's circumstances our clients are adjusting and pivoting to meet the new world requirements. Our Clients are continuing to buy and sell their properties as their property needs have not stopped. This is why the virtual Real Estate Market has continued to be successful. Greater advances in technology has offered Virtual open homes, digital offer forms, iPhone property videos and these advances are playing a huge part in the successful selling of 112 properties in recent weeks.
