"Additionally, we're seeing advertised stock levels persistently low, creating a sense of urgency in the market as buyer demand picks up. CoreLogic's weekly auction figures showed that more than 3,000 homes went under the hammer last weekend — the most since March 2018. "And Sydney in the next four months. Sydney values are still down 8 per cent from their [2017] market peak."
