Preliminary data from Domain Holdings shows that the national residential auction clearance rate was 52.9 per cent on the weekend of 27-28 April, with a total of 1,019 properties going under the hammer. Sydney and Melbourne recorded preliminary clearance rates of 52.2 per cent and 56.6 per cent respectively. Shane Oliver of AMP Capital says the bottom of the housing market’s cyclical fall could occur sooner if the Reserve Bank reduces official interest rates in May. Oliver has forecast two rate cuts in 2019.
