With the autumn selling season just beginning to build up for the first of the big auction weekends, we can already see that the competition for properties this year will be stronger than that of last year. The clearance rate across the weekend is basically meaningless. With only 250 auctions gazetted for the weekend and […]
Another weekend of 60% clearance rates on 875 reported Auctions and a further 690 private sales proving that the market is still marching on toward 2013 with gusto. Our enquiry levels have been exceptional, with many prospective purchasers now finding it very hard to compete in a market that is heating up. 2013 will be […]
With three of the biggest auction weekends of the year upon us, we have seen the first yield a healthy 61% clearance rate. Whilst nowhere near the lofty heights of 2009 (81%), this weekend’s result eclipsed the same weekend for both 2011(53%) and 2010 (59%). Both these past years had similar numbers of auctions. The […]
With only 5 auction weekends to go this year the necessity for good negotiation becomes paramount. With another 69% clearance rate from 733 auctions that were listed by the REIV and over 3000 auctions listed for the next 3 weekends, vendors and purchasers will be frantic to do deals. If clearance rates continue around 60% […]
After this weekend’s “Super Saturday” the REIV have reported on 1053 auctions. 690 sold before, during or immediately after auction. This gives us a very healthy 66% clearance rate. The last time there were over 1000 auctions reported was the same weekend in October in 2010. From 1031 auctions there was a clearance rate of […]
It was a very solid 62% clearance rate across the weekend where the number of auctions that were reported was 695. Nearly 20% of these sold prior to auction and there are over 250 passed in and most will still be on the market. Next week there are 1200 gazetted auctions and, with a clearance […]
With an REIV 62% clearance rate, up from 54% on this time last year, we can see the market is changing. It is waking from an eighteen month slumber. The market will not revitalise itself overnight, but over the next six months I think we will see solid growth in the suburbs of Melbourne with […]
With an REIV 66% clearance rate, every real estate agent, commentator and data analyst is espousing the fact that the market has turned. Claims of suburbs monthly and quarterly medians going up are heralding the revival of massive capital growths for all properties. You have got to be kidding! I noticed one reporting company talking […]
With the REIV stating a 64% clearance rate, spring seems to have come early for some vendors and agents. There were over 600 auctions on Saturday with another 526 private sales last week. This time last year there were approximately 628 auctions with only a 53% clearance rate and only 505 sold privately throughout the […]
There was a 60% clearance rate this weekend from 619 auctions. There were also over 450 private sales. Of the three properties we purchased last week all were either gazetted auctions or deadline sales. All were purchased prior to the gazetted date. Agents are definitely becoming more open to offers prior to auction when the […]
