Key Quotes

“Over the weekend Sydney achieved an auction clearance rate of 85.6% - the highest since June 2015. Melbourne was similarly strong with a clearance rate of 81.8%. These are not one-off results either – clearance rates have been trending higher for several months now, and are only slightly below the peak levels that we saw last year. While there remain (well-justified) concerns around oversupply emerging in the Melbourne and Brisbane CBD apartment markets over the coming year, current results suggest that there is still plenty of demand for housing out there.”
