This is bigger than house prices. Sydney’s first weekend of spring delivered another telling set of numbers.

Auction volumes down 32%.
SQM clearance at 37.15%.
Properties sold through the auction process down 54%.
Now stamp-duty revenue is falling and the RBA is contemplating another rate rise.
The first property dominoes are falling.

In this week’s The Word, we look at what happens next, and why the impact may travel much further than house prices.

Some sales are better kept quiet.
Secured off market in just two weeks, with a result that worked for both sides and a vendor who valued discretion throughout.
Not every property needs a public campaign to find its buyer. If you’re considering a move but would prefer to explore the market privately first, I’d be happy to have a confidential conversation.
