Despite being in the midst of a public auction ban as a result of the latest statewide lockdown, Melbourne’s property market maintained its growth momentum, with the city posting strong auction results. Sydney, on the other hand, broke records.
Melbourne recorded a preliminary clearance rate of 87.8 per cent last week, despite the lockdown threatening to derail the booming market through physical restriction on inspecting and transacting property.
According to the latest CoreLogic Property Market Indicator Summary, 668 homes hit the hammer in Melbourne last week, with 47.6 per cent of the city’s successful auctions sold prior, while so far, just 8 per cent have been reported as withdrawn.

That said, it’s not uncommon for these children’s cars to sell for incredibly high amounts of money, whether they’re brand new or decades-old. Even in this context, this was an unexpected surprise: one late ‘90s Ferrari by French maker De La Chapelle became the world’s most expensive after an auction over the weekend.
On February 13, RM Sotheby’s held the Paris sale, which included several collectibles – including a Ferrari 330 P2 Junior for children. The item was marked as no reserve and was estimated to fetch between €5,000 and €10,000 ($6,100 and $12,100). That is still incredibly expensive but well within expectations for such an item. A bidding war ensued and, according to the New Atlas, the kiddie car went for more than ten times the highest estimate, with the hammer dropping at €110,000 ($133,500).
