Sydney auctions up 32% year-on-year

Meanwhile, auction activity remains low in Melbourne, which is still in a stage four lockdown. Just 171 homes are predicted to go to auction, marking the lowest number of scheduled auctions in 14 weeks, and down from 222 last week. This time last year, 768 homes were taken to auction in the Victorian capital.

Further, CoreLogic noted across the smaller markets, the number of auctions scheduled in Brisbane and Canberra is the highest in 21 weeks at 117 and 81, respectively, while Adelaide and Perth scheduled volumes are lower relative to last week at 60 and 16, respectively.

CoreLogic has also released the final figures from last week’s results.

“There were 1,064 capital city homes taken to auction over the week, a very slight increase on the 1,046 auctions held the prior week. Of the 1,057 results collected, 60 per cent were successful, up on the 58.4 per cent success rate the previous week,” it said.

“Both volumes and clearance rates across the combined markets have remained relatively steady over the past month. While Melbourne’s lockdown has resulted in fewer homes taken to market and less successful results, this has been somewhat offset by an increase in volumes and clearance rates across Sydney.”
