The buyer’s premium, together with the final bid amount, will constitute the total purchase price of the Real Estate. What is a buyers premium? A buyer's premium is a supplementary fee imposed on top of the winning bid at a real estate auction which combined with the final sell price makes up the final price of the property. The buyer's premium serves as compensation to the auction house or seller for facilitating the auction process and covers various administrative costs associated with the sale. In the context of a real estate auction, the buyer's premium is an additional expense that the winning bidder must factor into their overall cost. For example, if a property sells for $200,000 at auction with a 5% buyer's premium, the winning bidder would pay an additional $10,000 on top of the final bid price, bringing the total purchase price to $210,000. It's important for potential buyers to be aware of the existence and implications of the buyer's premium when participating in real estate auctions, as it can significantly impact the total amount they will need to pay for the property. Understanding the buyer's premium ensures that bidders can make informed decisions and accurately assess the total cost of acquiring a property through auction. No phase 1 or Phase 2.
