Despite being in the midst of a public auction ban as a result of the latest statewide lockdown, Melbourne’s property market maintained its growth momentum, with the city posting strong auction results. Sydney, on the other hand, broke records.
Melbourne recorded a preliminary clearance rate of 87.8 per cent last week, despite the lockdown threatening to derail the booming market through physical restriction on inspecting and transacting property.
According to the latest CoreLogic Property Market Indicator Summary, 668 homes hit the hammer in Melbourne last week, with 47.6 per cent of the city’s successful auctions sold prior, while so far, just 8 per cent have been reported as withdrawn.
