The week ending 27th February again saw homebuyers out in force, with the REIV recording an 84% clearance. This time last year the clearance rate was 78%.
This result is based on 882 auctions reported across Melbourne. 558 homes were sold at auction and 185 were sold before auction, with 139 passed in. 15 properties were withdrawn from sale.
The level of buyer activity across Melbourne at present reflects what is occurring in other capital cities across the country, with demand for housing persistently high. As pointed out by Christina Karras from the Herald Sun, Melbourne’s housing market has been highlighted as the most popular in Australia right now for first homebuyers, with “affordable median house prices in fringe hubs” attracting a lot of interest among potential homeowners .
