Essential Auction News
|
Welcome to the October newsletter covering September's auction activities as well as the running quarterly and yearly figures. A cursory glance at the national figures below show that 19 of the "increase" figures are a 'positive' whereas 17 are in negative territory. A sign of a levelling or improving market? In addition the overall sales rate was exactly the same (65%) as in July, and up on June's 61%.
