Melbourne sales volumes took a hammering compared to last weekend’s results – a result of fewer properties on the market.

Last weekend 329 properties sold for a collective $185.5 million, this Saturday 130 for $64.0 million. Clearance rates were comparable: 79.3 per cent this Saturday and 79.7 per cent last Saturday.

Activity in Adelaide remains subdued, with only $1.3 million in property sold on Saturday at a clearance rate of 35.3 per cent. This compared with the 61.9 per cent registered last weekend and the $63.3 per cent ($11.1 million in total sales) on the same Saturday last weekend.

The Adelaide 52 week clearance rate high is 100 per cent.

Brisbane’s results were down on last Saturday although stronger than those recorded on the same Saturday last year.

In total $6.8 million was sold for a rate of 35.0 per cent compared to last Saturday’s 44.7 per cent for $7.3 million and 26.2 per cent ($5.9 million) on the same Saturday last year.
