Signs of Increased Buyer Activity

Weekend auction clearance rates in Sydney recovered to more typical levels this last weekend. No auctions were held in Beecroft of Cheltenham, but Ray White Beecroft experienced a significant increase in visitors to homes open for inspection, issued a number of contracts, and logged several good offers on houses.
One factor in this new interest was Westpac's report that they believe interest rates will fall. There has been a lot of newspaper comment criticising last year's high interest rate increases, which was followed by a major drop in buyer activity. Now it looks as though things are recovering.
