With a new auction year now under way did we see a return to normal or has the market jumped.

A clearance rate of 69% was achieved on the weekend but only 263 auctions were run.

It is to early to make any clear assessments of the market but that wont stop the media jumping to conclusions as they are only there to sell newspapers and advertising.

I believe the market with be a stable to growing market in 2020 but not a boom or bust like the media want it to be.

Remember only 18 months ago the market was heading for a 30% drop and now they are predicting a boom.

Independent advice is the key.
