Commercial property auctions saw their second week of extremely subdued sales activity, according to the CoreLogic preliminary results.

The last week with a substantial number of preliminary observations was the week ending 22nd of September, which saw 61 auction events. 

The week ending the 6th of October saw just 8 auctions events collected across Australia.

Of the 8 properties that went to auction, 4 were in Victoria, 3 were in Queensland and 1 was in South Australia.

Overall, there were 6 successful sales. While this suggests a high clearance rate of 75%, there are not enough observations to get a sense of demand in this space.

The highest of these was a $2.1 million office and warehouse space in Ashmore, Queensland. The total sales value of properties at auction was $7.3 million, suggesting an average sale price of $1.2 million The range of prices was $305,000 to $2,075,000.
