Auction Results 04 Nov 2017

The Domain preliminary auction results are in, and the national clearance rate is sitting at around 66%, compared with 71% last year, on lower volumes. Melbourne of course is down ahead of the Melbourne Cup.

Brisbane cleared 43% of 125 scheduled auctions, Adelaide 63% of 83 scheduled and Canberra 71% of 100 auctions. So momentum is strongest in Canberra and Melbourne, although more property actually changed hands in Sydney. We expect the weakness in the market to continue in the weeks up to the summer break.

Auction Results 28 Oct 2017

We have the preliminary results from Domain, which underscores the gap between the momentum in Sydney and Melbourne. Total listings and clearance rates were significantly higher down south.

In addition, while Brisbane achieved 39% on 135 scheduled auctions, Adelaide, reached 69% of 96 scheduled (at a clearance rate HIGHER than Sydney!) and Canberra cleared 82% of 100 scheduled, the highest in the country. This chimes with our surveys, which shows significant numbers of property investor switching away from Sydney and towards both Canberra and Adelaide, where property is more reasonable, and where tenants are paying, on a net rental basis, higher rates.

So the question is, will Sydney continue to stall, as prices continue to slide, and will the same falling trends begin to spread to the more buoyant states?

We are on a knife edge…!

The preliminary auction clearance results are in from Domain.  Looks like the volume of sales has fallen compared with last week (even though the clearance rate is higher) and last year – all subject to final results later of course. Melbourne is still hotter than Sydney, where our leading indicator research suggests appetite for property is cooling the fastest.

Brisbane achieved 49% clearance on 102 scheduled auctions, Adelaide 70% on 103 scheduled, and Canberra 70% on 49 scheduled auctions.

The preliminary auction results from Domain are in, and Melbourne is still leading Sydney significantly. Sales Volume appear lower compared with last week, and this time last year. We will see where the final counts settle later. This confirms our view that momentum continues to ease.

Domain has published their preliminary auction clearance results for 2nd Sept 2017.  Normally the start of spring marks an increase in momentum, but it looks as if weakness in Sydney is starting to show, despite banks cutting their lending rates for some new business. Melbourne continues to look pretty strong, but overall results are likely to be lower than this time last year.

Brisbane cleared 41% of 94 scheduled auctions, Adelaide 61% of 59 scheduled auctions and Canberra achieved 66% of 55 auctions.
