There were 1,587 capital city homes taken to auction this week. Of the 1,311 results collected so far, 84.5% have reportedly sold. This is an improvement on last week’s preliminary clearance rate of 81.9% when volumes were higher (2,473). Final figures by Wednesday saw last week’s preliminary clearance rate revised down to 79.3%. The lower volumes this week can be attributed to four of the states and territories welcoming a public holiday on Monday, including Melbourne where volumes are down substantially over the week.
