A house auction is an auction where homes, farms, houses, and commercial buildings are sold. Like other auctions, a house auction can be an excellent place to pick up decent homes at a fair price, for savvy buyers. People who are interested in attending house auctions can usually find them listed in newspapers and magazines. Online house auctioneers also regularly list houses for people to bid on, and occasionally property comes up in auctions of bank repossessions and deceased estates.

Property is often sold separately from other goods at auction events and estate auctions are a specialty item. Auctioneers tend to list properties separately, and may have a property sales expert to supervise the auction with the goal of getting the best price.
