REINSW – NSW Weekly Market Wrap

12th December to 17th December 2011

18th December 2011

The last significant auction week for 2011 saw just over 900 auctions scheduled, with 378 properties reported sold and 303 passed in for a clearance rate of 56 per cent. In the next few days leading up to Christmas there are around 90 auctions scheduled. This lull in auction activity typically lasts until the end of January while agents, buyers and vendors alike make the best of the festive season, school holidays, and warmer weather. To date the last quarter of 2011 has seen more than 8,500 properties put to auction, with an average of 56 per cent selling. This is an improvement on the same period last year where clearance rates were around the 50 per cent mark. On behalf of REINSW I’d like to wish all our readers a safe and happy Christmas holiday period.
