Auction results

House prices rose slightly in November 2011. This is the first increase since December 2010.

Have the recent interest rate cuts at least provided a floor from which prices could rise? It will become apparent in the near future.

Due to the end of year holiday period  auction volume rates for NSW were lower in December. However when compared to a year ago, the figures do show an improvement.
