"Hundreds turned out to the convention centre on Sunday to see 80 properties offered for sale as part of the Ray White Property Auction Spectacular. There was a wide range of units and houses was on offer but properties sold under the hammer for prices well below what would have been expected six months ago.
Chief auctioneer Philip Parker said he pleased with the lacklustre clearance rate of almost 30 percent but said those who sold at auction realised they were not going to get what they thought their property was worth before the economic downturn. He said while no-one was happy with the current economic climate, sellers realised if they wanted to move a property they had to meet the market.
``Out of those that sold today, only one buyer didn’t go down on their original (minimum) price,’’ Mr Parker said.
He said the vendors who didn’t budge, didn’t get a sale. Negotiations are continuing on several properties offered for sale." http://blogs.news.com.au/couriermail/publicproperty/index.php

We believe the Lord Mayor's rates policy has alot to do with buyer hesitation. The sweeping changes to the rates for unit owners will see a 3 bedroom unit paying triple what a similar-sized house in the suburb pays. Why should a two bedroom unit in Kirribilli in Sydney pay $156 per quarter in rates and our Lord Mayor expect that a Brisbane owner will pay $1,040 per quarter? For investors, the choice is easy. Buy within a Local Government that has control over their budget and control over their spending.
