The highlights from last weekend’s auction results are below. In many regards they are click and repeat each week at the moment:
- The national auction clearance rate was 82.0%, holding steady from last week’s 83.2%. This time last year was 56.9%.
- Auction volumes increase, as expected with a total of 2,731 auctions held, compared with 2,232 last week. Auction volumes are higher than last year’s 2,599, an expected increase because auctions perform better in a strong market.
- For the eighth week in a row, Canberra and Sydney return clearances above 80%, with all capital cities returning above 70% clearance rates which once again, means a very strong market.
- Sydney has taken the mantle from Canberra of the highest clearance rate, clocking in 87.5% out of a total of 1,048 auctions.
- From now comparing auction outcomes to this time last year becomes quite useless as we all went into lockdown. Remember those days, hopefully they never return!
