Clearance rates continue to trend below 70 per cent across the combined capitals

From CoreLogic.

There have been 1,840 capital city auction results reported to CoreLogic so far this week, resulting in a preliminary auction clearance rate of 69.1 per cent across the combined capital cities. There were a total of 2,323 capital city auctions held this week, down from the 2,444 held last week. This week’s preliminary result indicates that clearance rates are continuing to soften, after last week saw the final clearance rate surpass the previous week as the lowest recorded over the year to date across the combined capitals (66.7 per cent).  With results still being collected, it is likely that the final clearance rate this week will revise even lower again. However, compared to results from one year ago clearance rates are relatively similar with the 67.4 per cent rate of clearance across a slightly lower volume of auctions (2,183).
