HUNGER for Melbourne property remains insatiable, as buyers continued to snap up real estate at the weekend despite a boost in stock levels.
The clearance rate dropped slightly, to 81 per cent, from a reported 812 auctions – about 300 more than last week.
Advantage Property Consulting’s Frank Valentic said a two-bedroom Carnegie property may have set the record for an apartment in the suburb, after more than 10 bidders pushed the selling price to $627,000. He said the property sold above expectation, as another one in the block had sold six months ago for $450,000.
