Saturday July 31st 2010<\/p>\n
Demand improved at this weekends residential auctions with a clearance rate of 71 per cent recorded, an increase from last weeks 66 per cent.<\/p>\n
This result will provide encouragement and confidence to vendors with homes listed for auction between now and the federal election. An interest rate increase next week would reduce that confidence.<\/p>\n
There was a total of 541 auctions reported this weekend, of which a total of 382 sold and 159 were passed in, 103 of those on a vendors bid.<\/p>\n
This weekend last year saw 374 auctions, well under this weekend and a clearance rate of 87 per cent.<\/p>\n
Next weekend the REIV expects 520 auctions.<\/p>\n
