Great results this week!

There were 854 homes taken to auction across the combined capital cities this week returning a preliminary clearance rate of 69 per cent.  

The final clearance rate (due out later this week) has held above 60 per cent for the last 4 weeks and we expect this week will be no different. Over the same week last year, auction activity was higher with 1,178 homes taken to auction returning a clearance rate of 52.0 per cent.

In Melbourne, 352 auctions were held across the city returning a preliminary clearance rate of 73.6 per cent.  Sydney recorded a preliminary clearance rate of 77.2 per cent across 318 auctions. Across the smaller auction markets, Brisbane saw higher volumes week-on-week while all other cities saw fewer homes taken to auction.
