Any chance we can get back on subject? Anyone care to give their opinion on just how far the Sydney Property market will dive to.
2 out of every 3 properties were sold at auction last weekend despite the high reserves set by the owners.
Is this the evidence people are using to claim price collapse has started?
I think that is part of the problem ... they have gotten so used to seeing 90% clearance rates that they';ve forgotten that 65% clearance is actually pretty good.
The point is it didn't take much for it to drop from 90% to 66%
Only having 2 out of every 3 sold at auction is hardly cause for concern.
Article in the paper the other day saying many properties are sold before the auction in the good parts of Sydney.
Irrespective of such articles...you've hit the nail on the head there.
The good parts of Sydney.
In short?
Position.
Example : In the past 3 weeks, I've seen 2 revolting but definite knock down jobs on very steep (expensive to rebuild) blocks of land in our neighbouring streets. Both sold at/before auction.
How or why anyone would bother paying $2 million plus for these is beyond me.
The figures just don't add up.
I can understand paying 1 to 1.3 million for land....but not $2 million.
The buyers were not Chinese. They were Lebs.
Something's not right there.
The figures just don't add up.
I smell money laundering.
I think those who have a good position have nothing to worry about, if you bought in Rooty Hill hoping to make money that could be a mistake.
With 2 out of every 3 selling at auction along with many sold prior to auction there doesn't appear to be any problems with buyers.
Supply and demand are why prices keep increasing, this is a concept unemployable leftists cannot understand.
