According to CoreLogic:

The capital city final auction clearance rate came in at 59.9% last week, the highest final result we’ve seen since Mid-March. The improved clearance rate was across a lower volume of auctions with 480 held, down on the 612 held over the week prior when 47.5% cleared. Of the 395 results collected, 22% were withdrawn which was much lower than the 50% seen a few weeks ago, which is the main factor in the improvement of clearances rates.
