25.01.2022 The auction market has recorded its highest combined capital city preliminary clearance rate since March, despite record-low auction volumes in Melbourne, according to data. CoreLogic auctions data for the week ending 20 September has revealed that the combined capital city preliminary auction clearance rate came in at 72.4 per cent last week. There were 918 homes taken to auction over last week, which, while still significantly lower than the 1,983 homes taken to auctio...n this time last year, was higher than the 816 homes that went under the hammer over the previous week. The previous week recorded a preliminary clearance rate of 67.3%, which later revised down to 63.0% at final figures. This time last year, the final clearance rate was 70.7% across the combined capitals. Auction activity across Melbourne remains extremely low amid the lockdown to curtail the second wave of the coronavirus, with only 11 homes taken to auction. Of the results collected so far, all seven were successful, with five reported as selling prior to auction and two selling on the day. In the previous week, there were 600 auctions in Sydney, with a final auction clearance rate of 65.9%. This time last year, there were 646 homes taken to auction with a final success rate of 72.7%.

23.01.2022 Have you seen the headlines recently? So many conflicting opinions about whether the Reserve Bank of Australia will drop the cash rate EVEN further than 0.25% Today we received the verdict the cash rate REMAINS at 0.25%! The Reserve Bank is carefully monitoring the state of the economy. Most economic forecasters expect that the Reserve Bank will do what is financially necessary to support the economy and employment opportunities in coming months. So the prospect of an i...nterest rate cut is considered high before the end of the year An area of caution is fixed rates, some lenders have increased some fixed rates in recent weeks. So if your preference is certainly around knowing what your loan repayments are, it might be wise to talk to a MoneyQuest finance specialist to see what has changed Regarding the housing markets, experts have noted that properties in Sydney and especially Melbourne have declined.
