Clearance rates at auction dipped very slightly on Saturday, compared to the weekend before, perhaps signaling a slow down towards Christmas.

The most expensive property was in Sydney's Strathfield, which went for $2,820,000 while the most affordable property came in at $142,000 (in Sydney's Woollahra). The median price of properties up for auction in Sydney was $946,000 (houses) and $600,000 (units), while in Melbourne this was seen at $615,000 (houses) and $465,000 (units).
