Reservoir topples Richmond as Melbourne's busiest auction suburb
Jonathan ChancellorJuly 8, 2014
The Melbourne suburb with the most auctions was the large, middle northern suburb of Reservoir, with 284 auctions over the first six moths of 2014.
In second spot was Richmond with 241, though it tied in actual sales given a stronger clearance rate.
The two busiest suburbs reversed place on the first six months of last year, when Richmond topped the list and Reservoir was second, the REIV chief Enzo Raimondo said.
He said citywide there had been an "auction explosion" with 18,244 auctions so far this year.
