• Melbourne over 1,000 auctions

Last week
Last week, as auction volumes rose so too did the combined capital city final auction clearance rate, coming in with a 73.3% success rate across 1,596 auctions held. Not only was this an improvement on the 67.7% clearance rate over the week prior but a higher result from one year ago when 1,450 homes went to auction and returned a 51.2% success rate.
This week and weekend
This week, the combined capital cities are expected to see quite a significant rise in the number of homes taken to auction, with CoreLogic currently tracking 2,364 auctions, up from the 1,596 auctions held last week.
