Strong auction results in four capital cities last week helped lift the average clearance rate above the previous week’s result.

According to a CoreLogic update for the week ending 10 July, the preliminary clearance rate across the combined capital cities rose to 72.0 per cent from 67.0 per cent one week prior.

Sydney recorded the highest clearance rate of all the capitals, at 79.0 per cent for a total of 404 auctions.
