Listings down in 2019
There was the usual increase in new listings in October, especially in Sydney and Melbourne this year.
Still, it hasn't moved the dial much, with only a few auction weekends remaining in 2019.
Nationally listings were -4.8 per cent lower than a year earlier at 318,874, according to SQM Research.
Sydney listings were down -19 per cent from a year earlier, while Melbourne was down -7.8 per cent.
Sydney listings are still quite elevated in the Hills District and SW Sydney, but have generally fallen across the board since the election as stock is hoovered up.
