The weighted average auction clearance rate for capital cities reached 50.3%, a 10-week low, with a significant drop in Melbourne's auction volumes due to a public holiday. This indicates a broader market slowdown.

This lower clearance rate in the western growth corridor could mean more opportunities for buyers to secure properties outside of auction, potentially at more favourable prices.
