An online auction is an auction of furniture, boats, vehicles, property, equipment and many other items like jewellery and art which takes place online. Like other auctions, a property auction can be an excellent place to pick up decent products at a fair price, for savvy buyers. People who are interested in attending property auctions can usually find them listed in newspapers and magazines. Online property auctioneers also regularly list properties 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.
