Preliminary clearance rates surges to 76.6 per cent as the number of auctions continues to trend higher
It has been strong week for auction activity across the capital cities, with the number of auctions more than doubling compared with last week in
Sydney and Melbourne. Despite the surge in the number of auctions held, the combined capitals region recorded a preliminary auction clearance
rate of 76.6 per cent, up from last week, when the final clearance rate dipped to 68.7 per cent. Auction volumes saw a significant increase over
the week, with volumes rising week-on-week across all of the capital cities, with the exception of Adelaide which saw a decrease. There were
1,564 properties taken to auction across the combined capital cities this week, compared to last week’s 881. At the same time last year, auction
volumes were lower, with 1,400 capital city auctions held with a lower rate of clearance (71.8 per cent). The two largest auctions markets,
Sydney and Melbourne, recorded a preliminary clearance rate of 84.8 per cent and 75.4 per cent respectively, suggesting that vendors are still
very much in the driver’s seat across these markets.

‘Time on market’ (TOM) is simply the middle number of days between when a property is first listed for sale and the contract date. The rate of vendor
discounting is the average percentage difference between the original listing price and the final selling price. The statistics are calculated across results
received by CoreLogic over the past week and include properties transacted over the past four weeks. The data is based on private treaty sales only and
records without a valid sale price have been excluded from the vendor discount analysis. The analysis also excludes results where there are less than 10
observations.

CoreLogic systems monitor more than 100,000 mortgage activity events every month across our 4 main finance industry platforms. Monitoring the activity

market. CoreLogic customers account for over 70% of all listings in the Australian property market. The index, which tracks the flow of metadata across
