Another positive review of the Sydney Auction market this week and we revel in Clearance Rates still in the 70’s. A continuation at the weekend of the positive sales results as more and more stock seems to be listed for sale by Auction and subsequently selling at Auction. With Clearance Rates up again at 77% at the … More Real Estate Market Commentary FEBRUARY 20
Well, it is interesting reading all the different publications and Auction recording outlets to see what the results were for the weekend just gone. I know that these agencies require agents to report their sales (on the most part) and report them correctly, this can be why there is some variation the data we look … More SYDNEY AUCTION RESULTS FEBRUARY 13
There seems to be a mixed view of the RBA’s choice to keep the official cash rate on hold at 2% after the meeting earlier this week (2nd February). While a lower interest rate would spark commentary about a damaged economy in need of support, a raised rate would be taken poorly by the capital … More INTEREST RATES COMMENTARY 4TH FEBRUARY
It feels strange reporting Auction Clearance Rates so early in the year and it is almost a strange reality to accept that they are so low, already. However, I must exclaim, we are not really in ‘full swing’ yet, with only 30 Auctions reported to have taken place across Sydney. Of those 30 Auctions, 16 … More SYDNEY AUCTION RESULTS 30th JANUARY
It is still too early in the year for anybody to be throwing out any solid evidence for the future of the property market in 2016. However, the signs of buyers, slow trickling of property ‘for sale’ entering marketplaces, and the positivity from agents’ discussion over the last fortnight would suggest strong signs. The issue … More Sydney property commentary Saturday 23rd January
At least we are seeing a sign of consistency, for the first time in this ‘boom market’; Auction Clearance Rates were steady at 58% at the weekend. We must take the good from what we have seen lately, which is; despite a drop of around 20-25% in Auction Clearance Rates we have seen continual growth … More SYDNEY AUCTION RESULTS 5TH DECEMBER + MARKET COMMENTARY
It is an indubitable truth now that the Sydney property market has gone ‘off the boil’. While this is a hard admission for a Real Estate agent, it would be idiocy for a buyer to assume that this is the beginning of the end. In fact, Australian, and of course Sydney property on a 10 … More Softening market; who cares?
The nifty fifty mark seems to be the new ordinary in Auction Clearance Rates.

It’s a little like last year now; a bit of a yo-yo of results in the Auctions market. … More SYDNEY AUCTION RESULTS 21st NOVEMBER
I don’t think so. It has been over a week since the market confidence in a rate cut turned from above 10% to below 10%, sitting at 8% currently. This is an indicator of expectations as to whether the Reserve Bank of Australia will drop interest rates to 1.75%. Notably, this morning I was reading … More Interest rate cut?
