Sydney property had another strong result at the weekend’s auctions, however not as strong as the week prior. Auction clearance rates dropped from 80% to 78% and there were 696 properties auctioned versus 940 the prior week. The median price dropped from $1.42m to $1.15m as there 22 properties which sold for $3m+ last week, whereas this week there were only 12 properties that sold for $3m+. It will be interesting to see if February 25 proves to be the peak auction day for 2017 due to the sheer volume of properties listed and sold as well as the unusually large amount of $3m+ properties that were auctioned.
What a difference a week can make – watch this space to see if a trend is emerging after this upcoming weekend’s auctions.
The three most expensive properties sold this week were characterised by amazing waterfront positions and/or water views but the houses themselves were in need of a lot of work. Although the McMahons Point house was renovated it is an older style renovation – as you can see below.
