Buyer’s market appears to have arrived, but it may not last long: The AFR

As a prolonged period of high interest rates forces more home owners to put their homes up for sale, experts say the coming months will see a short-lived buyer's market, the AFR reports. 

The Agency Property Partner Krissie Ormond sold 47 Cleland Street, Mascot in Sydney's South East under the hammer for $2.225 over the weekend. Nine registered bidders competed for the property, which pushed the price well above the $1.9m reserve, with a young local family beating an investor to take the keys. 

Ms Ormond toldThe AFR  the right property and auction conditions are garnering strong results.
