Poor information and murky bidding are depressing the number of homes sold in the Republic, a new report finds. Joanne Geary, managing director of MyHome, believes fully transparent bidding could improve how the market functions. It also argued for a conveyancing profession capable of navigating legal problems in sales and for standard information on property websites. Close to half of residential sales are on sites with online bidding or auctions, including MyHome Offers, MySherryFitz and MyDNG, among others. Their advantage is that they give buyers a transparent bidding history for the properties in which they are interested as well as allowing them to place their own offer, Ms Geary points out.
