Winter Market

<html><body>
The first week of winter is set to see 618 capital city homes taken to auction, down on the 856 auctions scheduled last week, according to CoreLogic data.
Due to the Queen’s birthday public holiday this Monday, all states and territories except Queensland and WA are welcoming a long weekend, which usually contributes to lower activity over this weekend each year.
There are 143 Melbourne homes scheduled for auction this week, down on the 261 held last week and lower than the 215 one year ago.
Sydney is expected to be the busiest auction market for the seventh consecutive week, with 377 scheduled auctions this week, down on the 452 held last week and higher than the 313 held last year.
Across the smaller cities, scheduled volumes are set to be lower across all cities except Canberra where activity is expected to remain steady.

The capital city final auction clearance rate came in at 61.3% last week, slightly lower than the week prior when 62.7% of properties sold at auction.
The lower clearance rate was across a higher volume of auctions with 856 held, up on the 612 held over the week prior.
Of the 738 results collected, 12% were withdrawn which was much lower than the 50% seen a few weeks ago.
37.2% of sold results this week reportedly sold prior to the scheduled auction date, well below the results from early April when more than 80% of successful auctions were sold before the event.
An example of the upcoming weekend auctions in Sydney, which has been the busiest auction market for yet another week, is 68 Richmond Avenue, St Ives (picture in title).
The five bedroom, three bathroom house, is set for auction with a price guide of $1,550,000 - $1,700,000.

Vacancy rates across Sydney during July rose 0.1 percentage points to 1.9 percent, according to the REINSW.
Seasonal factors are influencing the number of people seeking rental accommodation, said REINSW president John Cunningham.
He anticipates this trend will continue during the remainder of winter.

"In the Illawarra, vacancy rates slipped 0.2 percentage points to 2.3 percent with Wollongong down 0.2 percentage points at 2.2 percent. The Hunter remained steady at 2.3 percent, despite a fall of 0.2 percentage points in Newcastle.
