维多利亚州颁布了更严格的财产价格指南规则,要求代理人以可比销售额说明价格合理性,并因不遵守规定而面临罚款。 Victoria enacts stricter property price guide rules, requiring agents to justify pricing with comparable sales and face fines for non-compliance.

维多利亚州引入了更严格的规则,要求房地产经纪人通过使用相关可比销售和考虑地点、年龄和翻新等因素来证明财产价格指南合理。 Victoria has introduced stricter rules requiring real estate agents to justify property price guides by using relevant, comparable sales and considering factors like location, age, and renovations. 代理人现在必须为其选择提供证据,并可能因不遵守规定而处以罚款,不过,如果某一地区最近销售量很少,由于存在一个漏洞,可以进行不到三个可比的罚款。 Agents must now provide evidence for their choices, with fines possible for non-compliance, though a loophole allows fewer than three comparables if few recent sales exist in an area. 这些变化是在一项调查之后作出的,调查显示普遍引价过低,超过半数的被跟踪财产出售超出其价格指南范围。 The changes follow an investigation revealing widespread underquoting, with over half of tracked properties selling above their price guide range. 虽然维多利亚房地产研究所欢迎这一举动,但它呼吁进一步改革,包括强制性的储备价格披露,但仍未落实。 While the Real Estate Institute of Victoria welcomed the move, it called for further reforms, including mandatory reserve price disclosure, which remains unimplemented.
