Key takeaways
Capital city auction markets have generally produced better results over the past week although most markets continue to report subdued conditions.
The national weekend auction market reported an average clearance rate of 50.3% over the past week which was again higher than the 48.4% reported over the previous week but again well below the 72.9% reported over the same week last year.
Auction markets continue to show early signs of a pre-spring selling revival typical of August - but from a low base, with all eyes now shifting to the RBA decision on interest rates this coming week.
