Auctions Continue growth in 2008!

The results of the industry’s mid-year report to the members of the National auctioneers Association reported that gross sales would grow 2.3% in 2008. The 2.3% growth during the first half will result in estimated gross sales of goods and services sold at live auctions totaling $276.8 billion. This will conclude six consecutive years of growth within the industry. In 7007 the live auction industry grew 5.3% to over $270 billion.

The fastest growing sector of the live auction industry is real estate auctions. This includes residential, commercial/industrial, and land /agricultural. In 2007 the auction industry sold about $58.5 billion in real estate assets. Total sales growth within residential real estate auctions has grown 46.6% between 2003 and 2007.

“While auctioneers have witnessed a tremendous growth in real estate auction sales over the past five years, auctioneers are witnessing more challenges in today’s housing market,” said president Tommy Williams, CIA. Auctions set the market value and sellers are uneasy with the realization that their property is only worth what the consumer is willing to pay and are concerned about a loss in their properties market value. In addition to seller apprehension, today’s buyers are concerned with purchasing assets in an uncertain economy and do not see eye-to-eye with sellers on the true market value of their property”.
