    Melbourne recorded a Saturday clearance rate of 74.5 percent which was again the lowest result since mid-February. The market trend is clearly on the down slope.
    Clearly every one is busy watching footy....:)

    Around my area the market is still hot, had a house sell for about 10% more than what I thought it would. Which I am very glad :)

    I think it would be better to pass judgment once spring has finished, see how the dust settles. Not quite re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic yet....

    I was recently advised by several agents when selling, to avoid school holidays, grand final weekend, Melbourne cup and December. I agree. I think any weekend between now and December that is not one of the above is probably a better indicator... I hope! Because I would like to sell between now and December... :)

    Where is your property? Why do you want to sell out of curiosity?

    Heidelberg Heights. I am selling to put the funds into a development in Perth. The Heidelberg Heights property is a development site, so not realistic to hold long term unless I was going to develop.
