Just a short stroll from Sydney's famous Bondi Beach, auctioneer Clarence White struggles to drum up bids for an airy three-storey home that boasts five bedrooms and an al fresco lounge - price tag, A$5.2 million ($3.64 million).
Failed auctions like this were once the exception in Sydney's red-hot property market. Now, clearance rates across the country have plunged, squeezed by an end to property investment tax breaks.
距离悉尼著名的邦迪海滩仅几步之遥,拍卖师Clarence White正费力为一栋通风的三层住宅招揽竞价——该房有五间卧室和一个露天休息室,标价520万澳元(364万美元)。
像这样的流拍曾经在悉尼火热的房地产市场中只是例外。如今,全国范围内的清盘率已大幅下降,受到房地产投资税收优惠终止的挤压。
