Melbourne is set to host more than 1,000 auctions for the third consecutive week, with 1,035 homes currently scheduled to go under the hammer this week. This week's auction activity is 2.6% higher than the 1,009 homes auctioned last week and 22.2% above the 847 seen this week last year.
With 958 homes currently scheduled for auction, up from 913 last week and 698 this time last year, Sydney's auction activity is set to rise for the fifth consecutive week. The 4.9% week-on-week rise is set to see this week overtake last week as Sydney's busiest since before Easter (1,017) and the second busiest of the year-to-date.
