With the December market firing on all cylinders and still around 1000 auctions to go before Christmas, I think it is time to take stock of what has happened this year and also look into the crystal ball again to see where we are going next year. Sales exceeding 1000 reported to the REIV almost […]
We have seen the first weekend since May that the clearance rate has dipped under 80%. And it only dropped to 78%. It has taken the biggest auction weekend of the season to do it. There were over 1500 reported sales to the REIV last week. This equates to about 50% more than normal. AND […]
Whilst the reported sales by auction was down slightly on the previous week, the reported market volume in dollars was up. The market looks to be going to complete this year on a much higher note than both the previous years. There was an article written in the Herald Sun this morning about younger buyers […]
1375 properties were reported as sold last week by the REIV. Just over 650 of these sold at auction. The market is running hot and will most likely do so for at least another three to four weeks. Enquiry levels are still high and I don’t see any other trend for property price but up. […]
The Melbourne property market retained its resilience over the weekend. 81% clearance rate for auctions has been reported by the REIV with 600 private sales, giving us a reported total of over1000 properties sold last week. For the third time in the last month I have seen allusions to property spruikers in the press. The […]
Even the Spring carnival couldn’t slow the Melbourne property market. Although 100,000 people were at the races on Saturday and more will grace the lawns of Flemington tomorrow, we still saw 339 auctions clear at a rate exceeding 80% and there were over 700 private sales reported to the REIV last week. There has been […]
What A Huge Week. The last week of October is renowned to be very busy & this year has been no different!Sales this week were high not only in Auctions of which the REIV reported 882, of which 723 were sold and there were also 741 private sales. This makes last week the biggest for […]
There were just over 600 auctions at the weekend and 4 out 5 sold. On top of this 734 properties sold by private sale according to the REIV. With over 1000 auctions scheduled for next weekend agents all over Melbourne are busy shutting down as many sales as possible. Whilst selling agents enjoy the street […]
After another week of 1250 sales The market may seem a little repetitive. The interest rate rise this week did absolutely nothing to dampen enthusiasm at auctions or negotiations. In fact, it has more than likely solidified the belief that the economy in Australia has turned the corner. More than slowing the property market down, […]
Market Comment 5th October 2009 Thank you to all those who came to see us at the Home buyers Show in Melbourne over the weekend. Finally after so many months of indecision, there were almost no industry experts predicting a fall in property prices over the next 12 months. In fact almost all of the […]
