Why it matters: 提示房东和买家密切关注维州消费者事务署对中介虚报低价(Underquoting)的铁腕治理动向,在委托出售或参与拍卖时合理评估指导价。
维州消费者事务署针对房地产中介虚报指导价的违法行为发起了高频次的司法诉讼。近期某知名连锁中介因在多套物业的销售过程中涉嫌 rampant underquoting,已被直接起诉至联邦法院。根据现行法规,涉案企业最高将面临高达1亿澳元的巨额罚款,涉案个人中介也将面临数万澳元的重罚。自媒体主编提示,政府此举旨在整治故意调低广告价以诱骗买家参加拍卖的恶习。房东在选择销售中介时,应要求其提供至少三套近期同类物业的真实成交记录作为定价依据,确保销售合规。
