Most auction markets reported higher clearance rates from higher listings over the past week – with the exception of Sydney.
The national weekend auction market reported an average clearance rate of 51.9% over the past week which was higher than the 46.1% reported over the previous week but again well below the 71.1% reported over the same week last year.
Some early signs of strengthening auction market activity to begin the spring selling season - although certainly coming for a low base in most capitals.
