EDITOR’S NOTE

About 2000 Victorian homes are set to go under the hammer this week, making it the state’s busiest auction week in years. Buyers who have been starved of a decent amount of stock since the pandemic hit are undoubtedly licking their lips at the prospect. But this glut of choice will be short lived, with the market set to slow right down for Easter next weekend. To help them make the most of the bumper weekend, we have asked the experts how Victorians can best approach buying under the hammer. Find their advice on P5. On P13, we profile another significant upcoming auction day. The Good Friday Appeal Charity Home auction will be held on-site and online this year, with a record crowd expected to attend.
