0 1 Sydney clearance rate hits 12-month high
0 1
The Sydney Morning Herald reported on March 9 that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts have led to a significant rebound in Sydney’s housing market, with the auction clearance rate rising to its highest point in almost 12 months.
According to Domain data, 68% of Sydney properties were sold at auction in February. The last time there was a higher monthly clearance rate was in February 2024, when the figure was 68 2 .
Last spring, persistently high interest rates limited the ability of potential buyers to borrow, resulting in a weak market performance. And after the Australian Federal Reserve cut interest rates, a large number of buyers returned. Many are concerned that another interest rate cut by the Australian Federal Reserve could lead to a return of home prices.

Last month, Sydney’s Eastside had a clearance rate of 72 8, with Inner Southwest at 72 5 and North Beach at 72 1 . The highest clearance rate was in the Inner South West at 73 4.
A clearance rate of 60 is considered a sign of a balanced market. If it exceeds 60, it means that prices are likely to rise. Once the clearance rate reaches 70, prices are expected to increase by 10 percent for the year.
Nicola Powell, chief economist at Domain, said Sydney’s overall clearance rate of 68 was a relatively strong result, and there appeared to be positive sentiment in the market, with clearance figures much stronger than at the end of last year.
Powell revealed that in October last year, almost a quarter of sellers took their properties off the market, and some may have gone private. In February of this year, only 18 9 of the listed properties were withdrawn.
The rate cuts have not had a huge impact on buyers’ ability to borrow, but have brought a major boost to market confidence and sentiment.
Property enquiries in February were 4 , the highest monthly figure since March 20 22, higher than the same period last year, according to Domain data.
Auctioneers said buyers remain price sensitive despite more positive sentiment. Independent auctioneer Edward Riley said the Australian Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut had really given buyers confidence that the worst was behind them.
Angus Gorrie of Ray White Eastern Beaches also said buyers were more positive, with enquiries and viewings up significantly and registered bidders on the rise.

The Tariff Rules Committee of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China announced on March 8, 2025 that it would impose 100 tariffs on canola oil, oil cake, peas and 25 tariffs on aquatic products and pork originating from Canada.
A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on the same day that the Canadian side, despite China’s repeated objections and discouragement, had taken unilateral restrictive measures on imports of electric vehicles, steel and aluminum without investigation, damaging China-Canada economic and trade relations, and that China was strongly dissatisfied with and resolutely opposed to such measures.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Foreign Trade Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) formally initiated an anti-discrimination investigation on September 26, 2024 into the Canadian restrictive measures against China.
After investigation, the relevant Canadian measures under investigation constitute discriminatory restrictions, affect the normal trade order and jeopardize the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
China has decided to impose tariffs on certain goods imported from Canada in accordance with the Foreign Trade Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Customs Law of the People’s Republic of China and other laws.
The spokesperson said that China urges the Canadian side to immediately rectify the wrong practices, cancel the restrictive measures and eliminate the adverse impact.
