Data Facts

|---|---|
| SARFAESI | ~31.5% |

- recovery,
- financial stability.

Distress Sale Logic
Auction properties often sell:
- 10–40% below market value.
Causes of Low Price
- litigation fear,
- possession disputes,
- repeated unsold auctions,
- rural location,
- low bidder participation.
Real Example
Karnataka Plantation Case
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated Value | ~₹3 crore |
| Auction Sale | ~₹89.5 lakh |
Important Insight
Cheap price may indicate:
- hidden risk,
- legal dispute,

Psychological Understanding
Wrong Thinking
Cheap property = instant profit
Correct Thinking
