Real Estate Auctions: A Survey of Theory and Practice

Daniel C Quan

The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 1994, vol. 9, issue 1, 23-49

Abstract: Recent downturns in real estate markets combined with a general acceptance of auctions have resulted in an unprecedented number of auction sales. A need therefore exists for the further development of real estate auction models that can provide insights into this emerging market institution. To facilitate this task, a survey of auction theory as pertaining to its application in real estate markets is provided in this paper. Topics addressed include bidding equilibria, the role of reserve prices, information disclosure, the decision to use auctions, bidder participation, and multiple-object sales. An overview of empirical studies in this area is also provided. Copyright 1994 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
