Roughly three in four auctioned homes were successfully sold last week, according to preliminary figures from CoreLogic.
There were 1,949 homes that were taken to auction last week, 100 homes fewer than the preceding week's auction volume.
The combined capital city preliminary clearance rate stood at 75.6%, higher than the success rate recorded in the previous week at 73.5%.
"It’s expected that this week’s final figure will come in below that given the lower preliminary figure. Last year, 2,139 homes were taken to auction over the same week, however only 46% of these sold," CoreLogic analyst Jade Harling said.
