The Banco do Brasil auction is an event like any other, but organized and offered through the most traditional mixed-economy banking institution in the country: Banco do Brasil. But how do these auctions work? Who can participate in these events? What is the average price of a movable or immovable asset at a Banco do Brasil auction?
Buying a car or property these days is becoming increasingly complicated. Due to the pandemic that began in 2020 and continues to cause problems to this day, the automotive sector has been widely affected, with problems in the production of new cars due to a lack of sufficient parts to meet the demand of manufacturers.
Thus, as a way to contain the decline in internal cash flow, these same automakers inflated vehicle prices to such an extent that many wouldn't even consider buying new cars. On the other hand, the real estate sector has been the fastest-growing sector for decades, with simple plots of land in sleepy towns exceeding R$0.
So, it's necessary to find ways to save money when buying something, whether it's a vehicle or a property: auctions are among the best options. In today's content, we'll explain how Banco do Brasil auctions work and how you can participate. Want to know more about it? Then read to the end of the article. Let's go!
What is the BB auction?
But what exactly is a Banco do Brasil auction ? It is a formalized event proposed by Banco do Brasil, which seeks to recover potential losses incurred by those who requested financing, whether for real estate or vehicles.
This way, you can find good cars, land, motorcycles, apartments, trucks, houses, and much more at Banco do Brasil auctions. The best part is the price, which is always well below the real value of the asset being sold, as we'll see a little later.
How to participate in the Banco do Brasil auction?
But how do you participate in the Banco do Brasil auction? Well, it's very simple. Just go to the bank's official website, search for auction notices that are ongoing or upcoming, copy the video conference link, show up on the correct date and time, place your bids, and win based on your desired bid.
This way, you can purchase vehicles or properties auctioned by Banco do Brasil. As you can see, it's a very simple process: the only requirement is to be of legal age, that is, over 18.
How much do the goods cost at the Banco do Brasil auction?
You're probably also curious about the prices charged for a property at the Banco do Brasil auction, right? Well, regarding the prices, know that they're much lower than you might expect, especially for damaged cars. Often, a simple dent that costs around R$7.000,00 to repair can reduce the car's price by almost R$25.000,00 (or more).
Generally speaking, the 40% "rule" (in quotation marks because it's not a true rule, but a mathematical estimate) is used. It's estimated that any asset, whether a vehicle or real estate, is sold for 40% to 60% of its market value.
In the case of cars, the market value is that listed in the FIPE table. Thus, if a car costs R$100.000,00, in a Banco do Brasil auction it can be sold for between R$40 and R$60. The rule also applies to properties financed by Banco do Brasil, whether land, houses or apartments.
Thus, the savings vary significantly, making the purchase worthwhile. Another practical example is if a R$100 car is wrecked. Depending on the extent of the wreck, the vehicle could be worth less than R$10 (in irreversible cases) or R$20-30 in cases where the vehicle can still be salvaged.
