Myth #3: Sellers avoid scheduling auctions on election day. But why is that? Let's set the record straight. You may have heard that sellers avoid scheduling property auctions on election day, but what's the real reason behind this? Here's the truth: auction volumes do significantly decline on Election Day. Sellers often steer clear of auctions, knowing that political events dominate the day. With fewer people paying attention, turnout at auctions can be low, which impacts bidding and potentially drives down results. So if you're selling, it's important to consider timing. Don't let the political calendar affect your property sale.
