AUCTION INSIGHTS: WHAT THE NUMBERS REVEAL

There’s a noticeable shift happening across Sydney’s property market right now, and it’s one that deserves your attention, especially if you're hoping to buy before the year ends.

New data shows auction clearance rates are rising across the country, with Sydney sitting over 5% points higher than this time last year.

While one number doesn’t define a market, it’s always worth paying attention to what these shifts signal.

Take a closer look at the full article below for more context on the current data, and what it might mean for your timing.
