The property market in Australia seems to be undergoing a notable shift, thanks to the recent rate adjustments. Auction activity has increased remarkably, both in terms of held auctions and the clearance rates. This extended response is observable in most capital cities, especially Melbourne and Sydney. The response to the rate cut has been strong, suggesting that buyer and seller confidence is on the rise.
Increased Auction Activity
There was a 40.8% surge in the number of auctions during the preceding week, bringing the total to 2,512 auctions in the capital cities. These numbers are an immediate response because of the rate cut, which capitalized on unlocking market access coupled with enticing more sellers. The preliminary rate for clearance at auctions also surged, reaching 71.3% which is a year-to-date high in unverified results. This is not only a strong positive indicator but sufficiently reinforces the previous statement.

The city’s preliminary clearance rate remained at 73.7%, which is in line with the prior week’s 73.8% (later brought down to 68.0%). This marks four weeks in a row where Melbourne’s preliminary auction clearance rate has been above the 70% threshold, reflecting sustained market strength.
Sydney’s Notable Performance
Sydney also showed strong performance results with 814 residential properties going to auction last week. This is the highest since the week before Easter, when 1,282 properties were auctioned. Preliminary clearance rate in Sydney also increased to 72.2%, which is a significant jump from the 10-week low.
