The point is that the best homes(top 10%) rarely need to go on the market.

The hotter the market, the more realtors know buyers willing to pay a lot for the first home that meets all their needs. Hence more homes are sold before listed.

I think that's locale specific. Except in the 15million+ bracket, auctions (here in Melbourne at least) tend to get the best money for the seller.
