Key takeaways
Capital city auction clearance rates were generally lower over the past week and continue to track at year-to-date lows.
Higher auction numbers are also challenging weakening buyer activity.
The national weekend auction market reported an average clearance rate of just 51.0% over the past week which was lower than the 52.2% reported over the previous week and again well below the 65.3% reported over the same week last year.
Housing market activity is now clearly reflecting the impact on confidence and affordability of three consecutive monthly rises in RBA interest rates with outcomes likely to continue to track lower – particularly home prices.
